Description

Understated elegance defines this historic Covington home priced below appraisal. The porch welcomes all who cross its threshold into a generous foyer featuring a brick accent wall and wood flooring throughout. The french doors and classic transoms delicately designate a separate space for dining and entertaining. Be prepared to be greeted with an abundance of natural light in the updated kitchen featuring a built-in breakfast nook. The great room boasts an inviting fireplace and opens to a spacious screened-in porch overlooking the backyard, great for either entertaining or peaceful evenings at home. Not one but two primary suites (one up and one down), along with accompanying baths, adorn this 4 bedroom home. A two bedroom guest house fully equipped with a kitchen is a bonus feature for generating additional income. This is a wonderful opportunity to own a piece of local history in the vicinity of all that downtown Covington has to offer!

    "Don’t trust the judicial system. St.Tammany parish is all about that money honey! Property taxes are ridiculously outrageous! It seems after hurricane Katrina, a lot changed. New people, new attitudes, new accents, and covington grew into a concrete jungle. I live in the north rural part of Covington. It was a quiet town, but it seemed as if everyone knew on another or a family member etc. Parents: the schools are ridiculous now. They do not teach cursive writing in school anymore... I suggest homeschooling your children or sending them to a private school. "
