 This fantastic example of a 1960s house in Stanford Place is for sale for $549,900. It’s a little pricey, but the area is fantastic and the house is completely period. Check out the link to the CJ Brown website to see interior pictures–they will blow your mind. The kitchen–untouched! The laundry room–seafoam green laminate! Slate flooring, soaring fireplace… the list goes on and on. There’s an open house this Sunday. I won’t be able to go, but hopefully someone will be able to report back… is it as great as person as it is in the pictures? To see more pictures and read a description of the property, click here.

This house is just around the corner from the fantastic Carolyn Sue houses. I’m slowly (and by slowly, I mean I’ve spent one Saturday morning) starting to inventory the most interesting houses in Broadmoor,
and am looking forward to adding more buildings to the list. For those that are looking to buy, there are some great houses for sale in the area at very reasonable prices.

Yet ANOTHER amazing house on Carolyn Sue. Check out that exaggerated cross gable roof: see the front gable facing the street, then the wings that just out of the rear on either side? That’s a cross-gable. The full length windows hidden behind the brick wall are pretty dramatic. Mr. and Mrs. RSM are looking to purchase a home in the near future, and we’re saddened that houses like these featured on Carolyn Sue aren’t for sale. We’ll keep plugging away, though!

Yet another fabulous home on Carolyn Sue. How awesome is that big picture window–doesn’t it look like a big roll-up garage door? The use of stone as a cladding material, that’s pretty unusual here in Baton Rouge. And the angled stone column at the front door, boy, that’s snazzy! This is not a house that is going to be confused for your neighbors.
