    Overview

    A loft-style live-work property built circa 1954 and transformed into a custom space by the current owners after acquiring the building shell in 2011. Interior features include custom-built solid wood cabinetry, commercial-grade floor-to-ceiling glass, high-end custom stone countertops, extensive steel and architectural elements, and artisan finishes throughout. The layout includes three bedrooms and three and one-half bathrooms, with an expansive lower level currently used as an art studio and office. At the rear, a standout custom two-story steel structure adds covered parking for up to three vehicles and supports a spacious covered second-story deck.

    The property is located directly behind the Historic Goudchaux Department Store building, which now serves as the Regional FEMA Headquarters. The covered second-story deck offers sweeping views of the Historic Catholic Cemetery, the Downtown Baton Rouge skyline, and prominent landmarks including the State Capitol Building.

    This configuration supports tenants or owners looking for a combined work and living environment, with a dedicated studio/office level and an additional covered outdoor deck connected to the rear structure. Covered parking for up to three vehicles further supports day-to-day convenience for an on-site operator or creative business.
