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 July 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. 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 walkable charm this historic corridor is known for. 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.
