Property Description

Welcome to this striking contemporary duplex in Downtown East, officially recognized as a National Historic District in 2018. Set on a lush, tree-shaded lot, this elevated two-story residence has a covered carport and off-street parking below — a rare find this close to the heart of the city. A true turnkey investment: both units are currently occupied by reliable tenants with rental contracts in place through April 30,2027, giving a new owner immediate, uninterrupted income from day one — no lease-up period, no vacancy gap. It's the kind of stabilized, cash-flowing asset investors look for in an area where long-term demand keeps units full. Investor Summary attached. Location is everything here. Downtown East puts you just minutes from downtown Baton Rouge, LSU, and the Mississippi River levee, with quick access to I-10/I-110, and the area's walkability makes it desirable. The address appeals to LSU-area renters, young professionals, and hospital/downtown employees alike — the fundamentals that keep vacancies low and rents strong. Inside, both units are bright, modern, and well-maintained, featuring open-concept layouts, cool-toned gray walls, crisp white trim, and durable wood-look plank flooring throughout. Each kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances and ample cabinetry, while fresh, tasteful bathrooms include a charming clawfoot soaking tub that nods to the neighborhood's classic character. In-unit laundry, flexible bonus/office rooms, and oversized windows round out each home. The roof is only 6 years old, as are the major components, such as HVAC Systems and Hot water Heaters. This property was also completely renovated just 6 years ago. Whether you're expanding a Baton Rouge rental portfolio with a stabilized, income-producing property or planning to owner-occupy once the current leases conclude in July 2027, this Downtown East duplex offers historic-district character, modern updates, and dependable returns in a location that holds its value.
