From the Zillow listing:

 

This adorable Acadian Cottage is truly an architectural classic and the outside just got a new coat of paint. Located in the oldest part of town, the home is just a 2 minute walk to the levee, affording great views of the Mississippi River and downtown Baton Rouge. The Old Ferry Landing levee top park is a short walk to the south. A modern kitchen, laundry room and 2nd bath in master suite were added over the years, but the original part of the home is over 100 years old and has 11 foot ceilings, wood floors and original beaded board walls. True to the home’s character, the original coal fireplaces and mantles remain in the living room and master bedroom, though they are no longer functional. Large Formal Dining Room plus the Kitchen has room for a Breakfast dining set. The room listed as “other” would make a great office, but is not listed as a bedroom since there is no window in the room. Not listed in the total square footage of the home, there is an attached single parking area. The central AC functions well and the small window units are for allowing individual room temperature control. A real charmer!
