Property Description
Step inside through a private brick courtyard, framed by beautiful white crepe myrtles and lush groundcover, offering a serene welcome and exceptional curb appeal. The front porch opens to a warm foyer with heart of pine floors that run throughout much of the home. To the left, a cozy office with cypress doors offers a private retreat. To the right, the formal dining room features a vaulted ceiling and elegant detailing.
The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, outfitted with high-end appliances including a Wolf gas cooktop with oven, Wolf microwave and wall oven with warming drawer, Bosch dishwasher, built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator, and two wine coolers. Travertine countertops, a prep sink on the island, and a cypress-beamed ceiling complete the space. A spacious pantry/utility room offers abundant storage, a sink, and stackable washer and dryer.
Just off the kitchen is a wet bar, great entertaining, and a cozy breakfast nook overlooking the lush landscaping. The living room is spacious and inviting, featuring more heart of pine flooring and a beautiful stone fireplace. A powder room off the foyer adds convenience.
Downstairs you'll find two bedrooms, including the primary suite, which features wood beam ceilings, plantation shutters, and a spa-like bath with dual marble vanities, jetted tub, and a large walk-in closet. The guest bedroom has tile flooring and an ensuite bath with marble countertops.
Step outside to the screened porch, which overlooks the courtyard-style backyard and in-ground pool. The landscape is a vibrant mix of pink sasanquas, boxwoods, crepe myrtles, holly trees, magnolias, and azaleas, all maintained with an irrigation system and landscape lighting. The eight-foot privacy fence, installed just two years ago, encloses the backyard for peace and seclusion. The roof is only three years old, offering peace of mind and energy efficiency.
Upstairs, a spacious landing includes washer/dryer hookups, a large hall closet, and access to two floored attics.There is a full bath with dual sinks, for your convenience. The third bedroom is generously sized, and the versatile fourth bedroom, currently used as a media room—affectionately called the “LSU Room.”
Additional features include a whole-house generator, two-car garage with finished board-and-batten walls, a workbench, and a charming potting bench tucked behind the garage.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a stunning, private retreat in the heart of Old Covington—an address that combines timeless charm, thoughtful upgrades, and unbeatable proximity to everything downtown has to offer.
