Rare opportunity to own approximately 3.95 acres within the city limits of Shreveport. This unique property includes a well-maintained primary residence, a separate guest cottage, and a storage building with electricity, offering flexible living and functional space. The primary home features 1,808 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and includes a 2-car carport. Originally built in 1947, the home has been maintained over the years with updates and improvements. A separate efficiency-style guest cottage with 1 bathroom provides additional space that may be suitable for guests, home office use, or potential rental income. The property also includes a storage building with electricity, ideal for use as a workshop, hobby space, equipment storage, or additional utility space. The 3.95-acre lot provides privacy and open space rarely found within city limits, offering room for outdoor activities, gardening, or future expansion while still being conveniently located near shopping, dining, and everyday amenities. Properties with this amount of acreage inside the city are uncommon.
Pinecroft, located between Youree Drive and Line Avenue, is a residential and wooded Shreveport neighborhood with curving streets and mid-century ranch homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Youree Drive corridor near East 70th Street, where local eateries, salons, and small storefronts set a steady, everyday rhythm. Broadmoor Baptist Church anchors nearby community life, while the R.W. Norton Art Gallery adds a quiet cultural counterpoint. Tree canopies and deep setbacks give many blocks a tucked-away feel without feeling remote. Nearby green space at Betty Virginia Park supports walking loops and picnic afternoons. The look is low-slung brick, carports, and generous lots that suit a relaxed, car-friendly routine.
