About 159 Valerie St
Looking for laid-back River Ridge living without giving up that signature New Orleans spirit? This one’s for you. Beyond the charming iron gated entry, an attractive but unassuming facade gives way to a private, tropical escape that brings all the vibes—lush landscaping, multiple outdoor living spaces, and a big, beautiful pool made for melting those muggy NOLA summers away. ~~ INSIDE, the surprises keep coming. Renovated in 2020 with a newer roof and system upgrades, this 4-bed, 2-bath home is anything but ordinary. ~~ Stainless appliances, shaker style cabinets, gorgeous quartz counters, & a large center island make for a stylish eat-in kitchen that flows effortlessly into a spacious den and dining area, all centered around a jaw-dropping skylight that adds personality, intrigue… or maybe even a glimpse into another dimension. ~~ The moody primary suite is pure drama (in the best way), featuring a bold color palette and double French doors that open directly onto the sprawling pool deck—your own slice of paradise where floating the day away is practically a requirement. ~~ Additional outdoor spaces include a side patio and lawn area off the main entrance, as well as a smaller patio and dog run on the opposite side of the home. Need storage or a home workshop? The attached garage has you covered. Just a short stroll to the Mississippi River Levee and located in an X Flood Zone, this home is a rare blend of tranquility, character, and location. Quiet street, funky flair—who says you can’t have both?
