Centrally located in East Baton Rouge, this updated, lakefront home is just minutes from LSU, Southdowns, and Perkins Rowe. The University Villas neighborhood—a gated community between Burbank Drive and Highland Road—is spread out amongst two beautiful lakes/ponds and home to a great network of young professionals and families. This home on Valencia Ct, built in 2016, sits on prime lake-front lot with a walking trail both behind and to its side. Views of the pond, beautiful and serene, are accessible from the back porch and bedroom/living-room windows and are amazing, relaxing ways to start and finish your day. Before heading inside, you will notice a brand new, updated exterior finish of paint, featuring brilliant white stucco and brick with dark garage and entry doors. Inside, dark wood floors cover the first floor, complimented with bright and warming white paint upon the walls and kitchen cabinets. Upon entry in the front door you will find a spacious front office on your left and a mud and washer/dryer room to your right. Then into the kitchen the open floor plan, featuring a beautiful island, connects to the dining and living room areas, all overlooking the pond and recipients of bright, natural light. From the living room area connects the master bedroom, complete with the same natural light and views and wood floors, while featuring a spacious bathroom including a large, comfortable jacuzzi tub, and plenty of closet space! Upstairs features two large guest bedrooms and a full bath split between the two, with more access to storage if needed.
