(Baton Rouge, LA)- Urban Restoration Enhancement Corporation (UREC) is proud to unveil the completed transformation of its Johnston Street restoration project in Baker, Louisiana. After being out of commission for several years, this property has been revitalized into a renewed home that reflects UREC’s commitment to restoring neighborhoods, creating homeownership opportunities, and Building Today’s Communities for Tomorrow.  

Located on Johnston Street in Baker, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers approximately 1,325 square feet of living space and is currently on the market for $188,000.   

Months ago, the home was a vacant property in need of significant repair but has now become a beautifully updated home ready for its next chapter. Throughout the restoration process, UREC and its contractor, LAMP BUILD, completed major interior and exterior improvements, including a fully renovated kitchen, updated bathrooms, new flooring, refreshed walls and ceilings, upgraded fixtures, and a covered driveway.   

The home’s major systems were transformed, including the installation of a new HVAC system, underground plumbing, and the water supply.   

UREC President & CEO Carl Dillon said: “At UREC, we believe restoring a home is about more than improving a property. It’s about restoring possibilities and helping build stronger neighborhoods for generations to come. This project represents the power of investing in communities and creating opportunities for individuals and families.”  

The Johnston Street home is a testament to what can happen when communities come together with a shared vision for growth and revitalization.   

For UREC, the project serves as a reminder that community revitalization begins with action, one property, one neighborhood, and one opportunity at a time.
