Large corner lot located in the highly desirable River Ridge area, featuring 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and 2 "Flex Rooms." The first-floor flex room is currently set up as an office but offers versatility to be transformed into a workout space, a fifth bedroom, a playroom, or even accommodations for an aging parent. The second flex room, situated off the primary bedroom, is presently used as a primary closet and could also serve as a nursery or an additional office space. The stunning kitchen is equipped with a large island and stainless steel appliances, including a refrigerator and a wine fridge. Additionally, the primary bath has been newly remodeled, featuring a subway-tiled double primary shower. The backyard is a true oasis, complete with a spacious carport area perfect for hosting crawfish boils, wooden deck area, a fountain and pond, cobblestone pavers, and a cozy fire pit area. There is plenty of grassy space and a second detached shed with electricity. Rear yard access is also available. Located in an X zone, the flood insurance for this property is only $780. The home offers ample storage with large closets and an open floor plan that enhances the sense of space. This property boasts an array of amenities, including an alarm system, a 2 year old roof and an active termite contract for peace of mind.

Cherokee Court, located between Jefferson Highway and the Mississippi River levee, is a residential and suburban River Ridge neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and leafy, low-traffic streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Jefferson Highway near Little Farms Avenue, where corner markets, longtime eateries, and service storefronts set a steady, everyday rhythm. Brick facades, broad driveways, and mature oaks give the blocks a tidy, lived-in look. Little Farms Market anchors local errands with a classic neighborhood-grocer feel. Nearby, Oak Street Brewery and the Jefferson Performing Arts Center add a cultural note beyond the residential grid. Levee paths and pocket parks shape a walk-and-bike routine along the river edge.
