6035 Government St, Baton Rouge, LA 70806

Welcome to Mid City! This charming, light-filled cottage sits within walking distance of some of Baton Rouge’s best spots, including Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church & School. Large windows throughout the home bathe every room in natural light and offer views of the gorgeous treetops surrounding Old Goodwood and Ardenwood. Original hardwood floors and vintage tile add character, while the thoughtful floor plan and generous storage bring modern convenience. A tall wooden fence with a remote-controlled gate provides privacy and security, and the long driveway offers ample parking. The spacious covered back patio is perfect for unwinding or entertaining. Inside, the front entrance opens to a beautiful, airy living room with built-in shelving and an antique chandelier. Just beyond is the kitchen, featuring a five-burner gas stove, built-in china cabinet, and a dining area framed by a wall of windows. A bonus room behind the kitchen—currently used as a den with a mounted TV—connects to the garage, which includes the washer/dryer and storage shelving. From the den, step onto the covered patio overlooking a generous backyard shaded by a mature oak tree and neighboring treetops. To the left of the living room, a hallway leads to the home’s three bedrooms and main bathroom. The primary bedroom at the end of the hall features a walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom. And the best part? Location. Enjoy daily walks or jogs around Goodwood Park—with its playground and tennis court—or along the sidewalks of Seven Oaks and the charming Capitol Heights Avenue. Dine at local favorites like Monjuni’s Italian Café, Antoni’s, Superior Grill, and the soon-to-reopen Fleur de Lis Pizza. Pick up fresh produce at the Red Stick Farmers Market at the Goodwood Library and support local artists at Hot Art Cool Nights and White Light Night along Government Street. This vibrant, welcoming community is ready for you to call it home. Schedule a showing today!
