About this House

he exterior of this ranch style home is very misleading to the unique inside. The kitchen is best described as a "Chef's" Kitchen with stainless steel appliances such as a double door refrigerator and a double oven for those bigger family gatherings. The cabinets were handmade with several different types of wood blended together to create something truly one of a kind. The hardwood floors throughout the main house have at least three different types of wood to give it that one of a kind look. It also has a small wet bar in the living for after dinner drinks.

This "GEM" has the potential to be a "DIAMOND" Mine! 514 Woods is a main house with two apartments, and a shop with bathroom and a kitchen. The main house is a 2 bed - 1 bath. The second unit is a 2 bed - 1 bath with a lot of space that can be renovated to be rented out or can be opened up to the main house to create a 4 bed - 2 bath main house with 2 large living spaces. The third unit is a 1 bed - 1 bath that would be a great mother-in-law apartment if needed.

Do you want to be in the Country, yet close to town also. The quiet of the country can be enjoyed off the covered porch that wraps around 3 sides of the house. It is about 10 minutes outside of town in case you have to make a fast trip back into town.

514 Woods Rd, Ruston, LA 71270 is a 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom, 3,229 sqft multi-family built in 1963. It was last sold on May 4, 2018.

"Good neighborhood, I’ve been in Ruston for about two and a half years. It’s a lot of college kids but parties aren’t rampant like you would think, they mostly happen in fraternity houses. Where I live is quiet and nice, with a lot of new construction. Roads are pretty bad but other than that it’s a nice place to live."
