There's something special about a place that's been loved from the very beginning-and this downtown Baton Rouge condo has that kind of story. The current owner bought this unit and lived here through college and the early years of his career. When a new job took him elsewhere, he kept the condo and turned it into a reliable rental that's been easy to own and consistently in demand. Now it's ready for its next chapter. Located at **2045 N. Third St.**, this move-in-ready condo puts you right in the heart of downtown. You're just minutes from the Capitol, riverfront parks, restaurants, and nightlife, with LSU and Southern University both about a 10-minute drive away. It's an ideal setup for professionals, students, or anyone who wants to stay connected to the city. One of the standout features is the convenience-**gated parking right in front of your unit**. No hallways, no elevators, just park and walk straight inside. The interior is move in ready. Fresh paint brightens the space, the bedroom features brand-new carpet, and hardwood floors run through the main living area. The bathroom has a newly grouted shower, and the kitchen includes stainless steel appliances. A washer and dryer are already in place, along with a spacious walk-in closet. Community amenities include a large pool, fitness center, clubhouse, outdoor grilling area, dog yard, and gated parking access. The HOA fee covers **internet, cable (including Showtime), water, and sewer**, helping simplify monthly expenses. The property is also **VA and FHA spot approved**, offering flexible financing options. Whether you're a first-time buyer, an investor looking for a proven income property, or someone seeking low-maintenance downtown living, this condo offers comfort, convenience, and long-term value in a location people love.
