Description
Discover the ultimate escape at this extraordinarily designed retreat, meticulously constructed between 1938-1945 with the finest materials of the era for a New Orleans family. Built to last centuries with 9-inch concrete walls and steel construction, this architectural masterpiece has evolved from a seasonal getaway into the pinnacle of year-round living, offering unparalleled privacy in a serene waterfront sanctuary. Original details have been carefully restored and maintained throughout, from the stunning parquet floors to soaring 12-foot ceilings that showcase the home's timeless elegance. The enchanting water gardens flow throughout 2.8 pristine acres and are fed by an artesian spring well. The sparkling pool on the property, one of the last artesian-well fed pools in the area, offers a rare luxury of both beauty and sustainability. Multiple living spaces flow effortlessly together, anchored by an updated gourmet kitchen and sumptuous primary suite featuring radiant heated floors in the bath. Modern conveniences include first and second floor laundry rooms and a whole home generator for complete peace of mind, ensuring comfortable living throughout every season. The spectacular back porch creates the perfect entertaining space, overlooking your private park-like setting abundant with citrus trees, blueberry bushes, fig trees, and stately pecan trees throughout the property. Here, you can golf cart to downtown Covington's finest restaurants or kayak down the serene Bogue Falaya River. Nestled in the most sought-after location in downtown Covington, this secluded estate offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. What once served as an exclusive summer sanctuary now provides the best of year-round living--your private retreat where exceptional living becomes everyday reality. This is where architectural heritage meets contemporary comfort, transformed from seasonal elegance into the ultimate full-time residence.
