About This Property

Downtown living at its best. Initially built in 1895, this historic shotgun house was renovated in 2015 with an open floor-plan, stainless steel appliances, marble countertops, farmhouse sink, all-new HVAC (with NEST thermostat), electrical, and plumbing, new windows, fenced in back yard and porch, and more. A room towards the back of the house could double as an office or small second bedroom. The many windows let tons of sunshine in during the day, but the 11ft. ceilings throughout help keep the house cool. Downtown--and its many restaurants, bars, and attractions--is a 10-minute walk away, and LSU's campus and Tiger Stadium are a 15-minute bike ride down the levy. Water/sewer/garbage included.

639 St Joseph St is a house located in E Baton Rouge County and the 70802 ZIP Code. This area is served by the East Baton Rouge Parish School District attendance zone.

Neighborhood

Downtown Baton Rouge lies just east of the Mississippi River in the middle of the city and blends a rich history with a modern flare. Four unique neighborhoods come together in this locale: Historic Beauregard Town, Historic Spanish Town, the city's Central Business District, and Capitol View North. The area's intriguing vista includes buildings older than Baton Rouge itself, which nestle next to contemporary structures. Apartments in historic buildings offer residents a real taste of Louisiana history. Plenty of green space and beautiful waterfront views put the finishing touches on downtown's enchanting atmosphere.

Locals regularly gather in Arsenal Park, which sits right next to Capitol Lake between Capitol Lake Drive and Capitol Access Road. Gorgeous flower gardens and winding paths make the park a favorite walking destination for downtown residents. Popular local restaurants, shops, and museums can be found around the district as well.
