This College Town home is a Jewel! This home was initially built in 1936 by Harold Barr, a professor in Construction Technology at LSU. The initial renovation and restoration by the current owners lasted over a year. Later additions included detached parking, bonus room, greenhouse/storage, an award-winning pool/hot tub, pool house cabana with a 2,000-bottle wine cellar, fountains, flagstone patio, decks, and custom fencing and gates. The land consists of two lots (6 & 7). The primary residence is located on lot 7 with small encroachments onto lot 6. Resubdivision or reduction of encroachments yields a buildable lot size exceeding 8,000 square feet. Landscaping “Steel Burden” style has been a passion for the current owners since purchased. Landscaping has continued to be a priority to this day. This charming one-of-a-kind home has so much character! Spaces were reconfigured for today's living style, including opening the kitchen to a keeping room/den. Materials old and new were used throughout as well as recycled doors and millwork. Attached is a floor plan of all structures as well as additional information and incredible photos worthy of a book!
