About this home
Tucked into the peaceful community of Waggaman Heights, this beautifully updated home invites you into a life of ease, comfort, and connection — with NO HOA, giving you the freedom to enjoy your property without monthly fees or restrictive oversight.
From the moment you arrive, you can feel the care that has gone into every detail. Major upgrades — conversion from oil heating system to brand new ventilating, heating and cooling systems with a Nest thermostat, a two year old roof, new windows, and gutter guards — create a sense of effortless living that lets you focus on what truly matters.
Step inside and you’re greeted by sunlight spilling across refinished hardwood floors, warming the living and dining rooms and dancing across the classic brick fireplace. The openness of the main level creates a natural flow, a place where morning coffee, family dinners, and quiet evenings all feel equally at home. Three serene bedrooms on the upper-level offer restful retreats filled with soft light and timeless charm.
Create memorable meals in the upgraded kitchen, where stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, soft close cabinetry, and thoughtful pull out shelving come together in a space designed for both beauty and function. From here, step onto your brand new deck with exterior lighting — a perfect backdrop for summer cookouts, late night conversations, or simply unwinding as the sun sets over your peaceful backyard.
Two brick fireplaces — one upstairs and one in the fully finished basement — create cozy gathering spaces throughout the seasons. The expansive lower level opens the door to endless possibilities: two additional bedrooms, a full bath, a kitchenette, and a spacious entertainment area ideal for hosting guests, creating an in law suite, or generating rental income. A dedicated laundry area and a finished storage room — perfect for wine, hobbies, or storm shelter use — add even more convenience.
Every corner of this home has been thoughtfully curated to support a lifestyle of comfort, warmth, and freedom. With no HOA and a home designed for effortless living, this is a place where memories are made, gatherings feel natural, and coming home feels like a deep breath at the end of the day....
