Property Description

Experience loft-style living at its finest in the heart of Baton Rouge. Located directly behind the Historic Goudchaux Department Store building—a Baton Rouge landmark that now serves as the Regional FEMA Headquarters—this one-of-a-kind property offers an exceptional combination of architectural character, craftsmanship, and flexible live-work functionality. Originally built circa 1954, the current owners acquired the building shell in 2011 and transformed it into a remarkable custom loft residence unlike anything on the market. Every detail of the living space was thoughtfully designed and executed with an emphasis on quality, durability, and artistry. Features include custom-built solid wood cabinetry, commercial-grade floor-to-ceiling glass, high-end custom stone countertops, extensive steel and architectural elements, and distinctive artisan finishes throughout the home. The level of craftsmanship and custom construction found here would be extraordinarily difficult—and significantly more expensive—to replicate today. The property encompasses approximately 4,024 square feet, including 3 bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms. The expansive lower level offers a flexibility floorplan which is currently used as the owner's art studio and office. A standout feature of the property is the impressive custom two-story steel structure located at the rear of the building. This addition provides covered parking for up to three vehicles and supports a spacious covered second-story 938 square foot deck with sweeping views of the Historic Catholic Cemetery, the Downtown Baton Rouge Skyline, and iconic Landmarks including the State Capitol Building. Blending industrial loft aesthetics with custom residential finishes, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a truly unique live-work environment in the center of Baton Rouge.
