We asked the owner about the house and here is what they had to say

5 things I love about my home

1. Bonus room/sunroom – an excellent addition to the home, doubles the living space.  Great room for kids to play, exercise, and spread out as a family.  Air conditioned/heated.  The glass wall really opens up the space so it has an open floor plan feel without the noise, and the glass wall is a beautiful feature
2. Laundry Room – Converted laundry room with tile floors, storage, and counter for folding laundry
3. Great layout for entertaining – the flow between kitchen, dining room, and living area is perfect for entertaining/hosting dinners and parties.  A lot of space for people and not being completely open floor plan helps control noise but still feels like it’s all connected
4. Storage Spaces – the house has an incredible amount of store: utility room (part of converted garage), floored attic, hallway closets, walk-in closets in office and master bedroom
5. Office – small bedroom that I converted into an office.  I love having a dedicated space to work, especially since working from home since Covid.

5 things I love about my neighborhood

1. Quiet and very little traffic – we live on a small loop that doesn’t have any thru traffic roads, so there is very little traffic.  Only people that live on these 3 streets drive here
2. Family-friendly – most of my neighbors are families, there are usually kids out playing or riding bikes.
3. School districts – we are in the district for New Sarpy/Ethel Schoeffner Elementary, Harry M Hurst Middle, and Destrehan High public schools.  St Charles Borromeo private school is also in our neighborhood.  You can walk to Borromeo and Harry Hurst.  The public schools here have excellent national and local rankings
   1. Destrehan High: Destrehan High School in Destrehan, LA – US News Best High Schools, Destrehan High School in Reserve, LA – Niche,
   2. Harry Hurst: Harry M. Hurst Middle School in Louisiana – U.S. News Education (usnews.com), Harry M. Hurst Middle School in Kenner, LA – Niche
   3. New Sarpy Elementary: New Sarpy Elementary School in Destrehan, LA – Niche
4. Parks – there are 2 parks close by.  The first is a 1 minute walk and has a giant field, baseball diamond, and playground.  The other is a 15 minute walk and is a very large park (East Bank Bridge Park) with a big playground and baseball fields.
5. Easy access to the interstate – we are a 3 minute drive from the onramp to I310 and to River Road.  Both provide direct access to the Greater New Orleans area
