Nestled on a corner lot just blocks from the shopping, dining and entertainment bustle of Downtown Covington and only minutes from the Hwy 21 medical corridor, this charming turn-of-the-century cottage boasts a thoughtful 2nd floor addition designed by MV Studio that provides more interior room than the exterior suggests. Once entering the welcoming foyer from the large front porch, the transom windows, classic fireplaces and gorgeous antique heart pine floors and wood ceilings of the first floor transport one back to the early 20th century. The entertaining spaces include the cozy front parlor that offers views of the front porch and yard from the over-sized bay window. The adjacent dining room flows into the updated kitchen and the spacious, less formal living room that anchors the back of the house and opens to the large screened back porch via two sets of classic French doors. There are two bedrooms, a bath with double vanity, laundry room, powder room and large mud room on the first floor as well. The second floor has three bedrooms, one ensuite and two that share a bath. There are two options for the master suite, either the 2nd floor ensuite bedroom or the center bedroom on the 1st floor. The screened back porch runs the entire width of the house and is the perfect venue for enjoying the tranquil backyard. There is off-street parking for 2+ vehicles and plenty of grass in the front and back yards for children and pets to enjoy for hours. Walk, bike, or drive your golf cart to the Farmer’s Market, Bogue Falaya Park, or for a snow ball at the Trailhead and enjoy all that living near Downtown Covington offers.
