Open Sunday July 26 from 2-4pm! Welcome home to 12253 Cardeza Ave! This beautifully updated 70816 gem offers unmatched space with limitless possibilities, inside and out. From the street, this home makes a statement. A front porch spans the entire width of the home for serious curb appeal, backed by a freshly painted exterior with new soffit vents and a new doorbell. Step inside to find 14mm laminate flooring throughout the living room, dining room, office, kitchen, and every bedroom — no carpet anywhere in this home! Crown molding runs throughout, and custom built-ins fill the closets, with extra storage in one additional bedroom. Cozy up by the fireplace with gas starter access, or entertain effortlessly at the functioning wet bar in the living room. The kitchen is a showstopper, featuring quartz countertops, two full-size ovens, a brand-new cooktop, a new garbage disposal, and an outside-venting oven hood. Custom pull-outs in the kitchen and bathroom cabinets add smart, functional storage throughout. Bathrooms showcase durable porcelain tile, and the primary bath includes a custom-built shower insert. All-new toilets have been installed throughout, including two heavy-duty models. The laundry room continues the porcelain tile, plus offers a dedicated outlet circuit for a deep freezer or second fridge and a gas line connector for the dryer. Head outside to a fully fenced backyard with a large open and covered patio, an oversized double carport, and a boat port with a brand-new sectional garage door. Double-paned windows with new screens and Kwikset locks (easily rekeyed) round out the practical upgrades. And for peace of mind: this home did not flood in 2016. Don't miss your chance to make it yours!
Jones Creek, located between Highland Road and Coursey Boulevard, is a residential and commercial Baton Rouge neighborhood with winding bayous and leafy cul-de-sacs. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Jones Creek Road and Coursey Boulevard intersection, where grocery storefronts, local eateries, and everyday errands create a steady hum. Housing leans toward late-20th-century brick homes and townhomes, set behind mature trees and curving subdivision streets. Sidewalk pockets and small green spaces trace the area’s waterways and drainage canals. The nearby Jones Creek Regional Branch Library adds a civic anchor for reading rooms and community programming. Dining landmarks such as Parrain’s Seafood Restaurant and Mason’s Grill help define the local routine.
