About this home

Tucked beneath the canopy of one of Covington’s legendary oak trees (the very one featured on the Covington Bicentennial Poster), this historic gem offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a piece of the city's story. The home itself is situated on a rare 150' x 150' lot, occupying approximately a quarter of a city block. The charming cottage dates back to the early 1900s and carries the timeless character of its era, seamlessly expanded in the 1960s to provide additional space and comfort. With its vintage charm and endless potential, it stands ready to be reimagined or restored to its full historic glory. Outside, you’ll find a private pool, open green space and the kind of mature trees and serene atmosphere that only comes with generations of rooted history. Whether you're seeking a landmark property to preserve or a one-of-a-kind estate to call your own—this is your moment. Opportunities like this are rare. Don’t miss your chance to steward a part of Covington’s legacy. Also available with an additional 150x150 lot see MLS #2512005.

About New

Covington

New Covington, located between Downtown Covington and the Bogue Falaya River, is a residential and mixed-use Covington neighborhood with a walkable street grid and a leafy, small-town feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along N Columbia Street near the Covington Trailhead, where coffee counters, galleries, and patio dining set a steady daytime rhythm. Early-20th-century cottages and newer infill sit beside pocket greens and shaded sidewalks. The Covington Trailhead anchors community gatherings and bike-to-town routines. St. Tammany Art Association adds a gallery-going cadence, while Abita Brewing Company’s taproom scene sits close by for a casual outing. Riverfront paths and downtown blocks keep daily errands and weekend wandering on foot or by bike.
