About this property
House with King and Queen beds! Garfield Cottage @LSU
Beinvenue and welcome to Garfield Cottage! This quaint house is located just steps from LSU campus and along the fast-developing Nicholson corridor. Located in a diverse neighborhood on a quiet little street, this spot is a prime location for all things LSU: Tiger stadium, Bernie Moore Track, and Alex Box stadium, but also near the Varsity Theater, Cane's River Center, popular Mid City restaurants and bars and easy access to the Mississippi River levee for running and cycling enthusiasts.
Neighborhood description: Garfield Cottage is located in the Nicholson Corridor neighborhood of old south Baton Rouge, less than half a mile from LSU campus through an historic oak tree-shaded neighborhood. The neighborhood is diverse and filled with historic cottages and single family homes along with some multifamily buildings interspersed throughout. Mature live oak trees drape over the home and streets to create a beautiful and shady space.
Garfield Cottage is located about a quarter of a mile from BREC’s Magnolia Mound Colonial House and museum, close in proximity to downtown Baton Rouge with the Canes River Center, old and new state capital museums, Children’s Arts and Science museum and Planetarium, downtown nightlife and restaurants, and the beautiful levee walk. Go a little further to Baton Rouge Mid City for a variety of restaurants, bars, and activities, including the Knock Knock Museum.
What you will LOVE about Garfield Cottage: Garfield Cottage is an older home- built around 100 years ago- and maintains much of its original charm: high ceilings, original hardwood floors, and raised pier foundation; it may not be suitable for children 2 and under and is not childproof. Having said that, Garfield Cottage boasts many modern features you've come to expect: central heating and air conditioning, ceiling fans in every room, a king and queen size bed with a new and comfortable mattresses and cozy bedding, a full size and fully functional kitchen, along with clothes washer and dryer machines. There are extra blankets and pillows available plus box fans for cooling and white noise. The patio is pleasant for gathering- the table seats 6+ and there is an umbrella to block the mid day sun. From outside, you can hear the campanile ring the hours and when in season, you can hear the sounds of the famed Golden Band from Tigerland practicing for halftime shows!
