This historic Creole Cottage in the Division of St. John, located in downtown Covington and dating back to around 1879, is a stunning example of timeless architecture blended with modern luxury. This iconic property has been meticulously redesigned to meet today's high standards while preserving its historic charm and character. Inside, the home boasts 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and one half bath, each thoughtfully designed to provide both functionality and sophistication. Modern upgrades have been seamlessly integrated into the historic framework, creating a harmonious balance between old-world charm and contemporary design. The expansive living spaces include a double fireplace, heart of pine flooring, high end appliances, and custom cabinetry. The outdoor spaces are equally impressive. A large, heated pool and spa serve as the backdrop of professionally landscaped grounds, providing a private retreat for relaxation or entertaining. Additionally, the property includes beautifully designed guest quarters (532sf) with a full bath, providing comfort and privacy for visitors. This space is not just a residence, but a testament to the rich cultural history of Covington, now elevated to a masterpiece of modern living under the vision and expertise of Matt Voelkel of MVStudio.
