Here is why this corner unit stands completely out:
🌳 Rare Corner-Unit Privacy: Uniquely positioned with only ONE attached neighbor, giving you a quiet, spacious feel that is hard to find in townhome living.
🔨 Big-Ticket Updates Done: Total peace of mind with a BRAND-NEW roof (2025) and a newer 2.5-ton Rheem AC system (2020).
✨ Fresh & Modern Interior: Move-in ready with all-new flooring throughout (modern laminate on the main floor, plush new carpet upstairs), fresh neutral paint, and updated fixtures.
🛌 Smart Split Layout: Features a highly functional layout with one bedroom and a full bath on the first floor, and a second bedroom and full bath on the upper level.
📍 Prime Location: Located in preferred Flood Zone X, zoned for the highly rated Shenandoah Elementary school, and minutes away from Baton Rouge's best shopping and dining.

It’s vacant, spotless, and incredibly easy to view! This new price point is a total game-changer for a home this updated.

We just combined forces on this incredible property, and the savings are massive!

🏡 The Move-In Ready Home: Thoroughly renovated from top to bottom and feels practically brand new!

🌳 The 6+ Acres of Land: Already conveniently subdivided into three separate lots! Keep it all to yourself for a massive, private country estate complete with a tranquil fishing pond and a wooded section for hunting, or use the additional lots to build homes for family members or future investments. The heavy lifting with the plat map is already done!

✨🏡 A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS 🏡✨

There is something incredibly powerful about watching a client claim a space that is entirely, completely her own. Today, Cristi closed with a very special buyer who just purchased her very first home independently! A monumental milestone and a beautiful fresh start.

This journey wasn't just about finding the right house; it was about navigating a major life transition. After guiding her through the sale of her previous home, Cristi’s mission was to ensure this next step felt safe, exciting, and empowering.

To say this transaction required some heavy lifting would be an understatement. When unexpected roadblocks and 11th-hour challenges threatened to delay the closing, Cristi did what she always does: she stepped into the gap. Even when it meant answering emergency calls and working right through her own anniversary dinner, Cristi and our broker fought behind the scenes to protect this sweet buyer.

By the time our client walked into the title company today, the stress was gone, replaced by pure joy and a well-deserved happy ending. 🥂❤️

Please join us in congratulating this incredible woman on her new home and her bright new chapter!

🚨 Stop scrolling! It’s Cristi’s Birthday! 🚨

We had to make sure the birthday girl started her personal new year off right, which obviously meant tracking down the best cookies in town. 🍪🎉

Cristi, thank you for being such an incredible leader, partner, and friend. You tackle every transaction and every day with so much heart, and we are so lucky to have you at the helm!

May your day be sweet, your listing descriptions be perfect, and your appraisal values always come in exactly where you want them! 😉🏡🥂

Join us in wishing Cristi an amazing birthday in the comments! 👇🎂

2619 Harveston Way | Baton Rouge, LA

At The Ragusa Team, we are absolutely thrilled to bring this beautiful 2023-built property to the market! If you have been dreaming of a vibrant, resort-style lifestyle in one of Baton Rouge’s premier communities, this pristine Cottonwood plan is your perfect opportunity.

✨ The Dupree Construction Difference:
This home stands completely apart from basic new construction.

🎉 JUST SOLD! 🥂✨
4014 Indian Run | White Oak Landing (Baton Rouge, LA)

Today’s closing is an incredibly special one for our family here at The Ragusa Team! Cristi just helped her own mom and stepdad officially close the chapter on their beautiful brick home and transition seamlessly into their next adventure. 🏡❤️

At The Ragusa Team, our passion is building relationships one home at a time, and that means we treat every single client like family. But when it actually is family, the dedication is next-level.

This journey wasn't without its challenges. When the home initially hit the market, the showings and offers just weren't coming in. Real estate takes strategy, patience, and a willingness to pivot when necessary. Instead of just waiting around, Cristi rolled up her sleeves and took a completely proactive approach. She helped coordinate moving her mom and stepdad out into their new home, had the entire interior professionally painted in modern neutral colors, and completely reshot the listing photography to show off the home's true elegance.

The strategy worked beautifully! Almost immediately after the fresh updates and new photos went live, the perfect offer came through the door. Now, we are celebrating a successful closing and guiding Cristi's parents smoothly toward their next chapter.

This milestone highlights exactly what we do best: we don't just put a sign in the yard. We act as your trusted advisors, problem-solvers, and advocates every step of the way to ensure your real estate goals become a reality.

Thinking about making a move? Whether your home needs a fresh strategy to get moving or you are just beginning to plan your next chapter, we would love to connect and bring this same level of dedicated, proactive care to your journey.
