Tucked behind a 24-7 -gated entry, this townhouse sits within the close-knit Dudley Square community of just 20 homes - the kind of place where you actually know your neighbors' names, and evenings often mean pulling up a chair in the shared courtyard that the HOA lovingly maintains. Modeled after the historic rowhomes of Colonial Williamsburg, yet carrying a distinctly Louisiana warmth, it's a home full of unexpected charm from the moment you arrive. Picture your morning: coffee on the private balcony off the primary suite, the air still cool, church bells from nearby First Baptist drifting over the rooftops - nostalgic and welcoming. Inside, curated wallpaper and custom drapery give every room its own personality, so simply walking through your own home feels like a daily delight. Both upstairs bedrooms are true suites with private en-suite baths, offering everyone their own space to unwind. Head up to the third floor and find a bedroom that doubles as a hideaway, complete with a secret door leading into the attic - make the room itself a kids' room, guest room, playroom, library, or study, and let the attic beyond hold all your extra treasures. Cooking dinner is a pleasure at the beautifully updated kitchen with its sleek induction cooktop. And with a whole-home generator - available to convey with a favorable offer - storm season loses its sting entirely. Step outside and the garden courtyard, thick with mature greenery, becomes your gathering spot for wine with neighbors and friends. Out front, established bay and blueberry plants add an unexpected touch of abundance to daily life here. Location is unbeatable too: just 5 minutes to LSU Hospital, with an easy walk to Ki' Mexico, Marilynn's, and Lowder's Bakery. HOA dues cover trash pickup plus maintenance of the front lawn and shared common areas - so you can spend your time actually living, not maintaining. All info believed to be correct but should be confirmed by buyers and their agents.
