Winding Ridge | Spanish Oaks (Prairieville, LA)

At The Ragusa Team, our passion is building relationships one home at a time, and today we are celebrating a wonderful closing right in Cristi's very own neighborhood of Spanish Oaks!

This custom-built hidden gem is officially SOLD! We could not be happier for our clients as they successfully close this chapter and move forward into their next adventure with complete peace of mind. 🏡✨

Spanish Oaks is one of the best-kept secrets in Prairieville, combining a serene, nature-filled atmosphere with incredible convenience to top-rated schools like Dutchtown High and Bullion Primary. This spectacular property was a true standout, featuring an open-concept layout with absolutely no carpet, a chef's kitchen with a pot filler and wine fridge, and a jaw-dropping backyard oasis complete with a custom 2022 saltwater gunite pool and spa.

Our team worked proactively from day one to highlight the unique value of this resort-style property, protect our sellers' best interests, and guide everyone smoothly to the closing table. This milestone shows what we strive for: combining deep local expertise with a signature level of care to make every transition as seamless as possible.

We want to extend a huge congratulations to our amazing sellers and a warm welcome to the new homeowners!

2619 Harveston Way | Baton Rouge, LA

✨ The Dupree Construction Difference:
This home stands completely apart from basic new construction. Built by highly sought-after custom builder Dupree Construction, it offers high-end craftsmanship that you simply cannot find in standard builds.

Flawless Interior Details: The bright, open living and dining spaces feature elegant crown molding and premium, seller-installed window coverings, including gorgeous wood shutters, custom Roman shades, and wood blinds.

A Chef’s Kitchen: Enjoy custom cabinetry, premium finishes, and an electric cooktop specifically chosen and installed by the seller for an optimal cooking experience. (Bonus: the refrigerator, washer, dryer, and wall-mounted TVs are all negotiable!)

Perfect Curb Appeal: Features a welcoming front porch complete with a classic swing, custom exterior pavers, and a fully automated front irrigation and sprinkler system to keep your lawn beautiful with zero effort.

Living in The Lakes at Harveston means enjoying a vibrant, active community with the absolute best amenities in the area, including a state-of-the-art clubhouse, resort pool, fitness facility, pickleball courts, and miles of scenic walking trails.

2619 Harveston Mill Dr, Baton Rouge, LA 70810 | Keller Williams Detached Single Family for sale in Baton Rouge - 3 beds, 3 baths, 2,262 sq ft, $675,000, .12 ac

🎉 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.
