With room to spread out both inside and out, this property offers the kind of flexibility that's becoming harder to find. Whether you envision backyard football games, a garden, space for pets to roam, or simply enjoying a slower pace with room to breathe, you'll have plenty of space to make it your own. Inside, you'll find multiple living areas designed for making memories—from holiday dinners around the table to football Saturdays spent gathered around the fireplace with your favorite people. One of the home's standout features is the inviting living room with soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, and a beautiful wood-burning fireplace that creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere. A second decorative fireplace adds even more charm and character.

Yarborough, located between Youree Drive and Line Avenue, is a residential and commuter-friendly Shreveport neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and leafy streetscapes. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates near the Youree Drive corridor by East 70th Street, where local eateries, small storefronts, and everyday errands create a steady, lived-in rhythm. Housing trends toward brick one-stories with deep setbacks, carports, and mature trees that soften the streets. Nearby green space and walking loops shape an outdoors-forward routine. Dining and culture often orbit familiar local names such as Herby-K’s, Marilynn’s Place, and the Strand Theatre downtown. The setting keeps daily routes oriented toward South Shreveport shopping and the medical district.
