Welcome home to this beautifully refreshed property, newly updated in 2026 with fresh interior and exterior paint and a brand new roof -- move-in ready and waiting for its next chapter. Step onto the back porch and discover a piece of Louisiana history: cypress siding sourced directly from the storied St. Joseph Plantation, over 150 years old, adding irreplaceable character and charm you simply cannot replicate. Inside, enjoy easy living with all-new laminate wood flooring throughout -- not a single square foot of carpet -- and a separate formal dining area perfect for entertaining. The AC evaporator was replaced just three years ago, and a window allowance is being offered, giving buyers the opportunity to customize to their taste. Security is covered with a full on-site security system and newly installed security lighting near the garage. The garage also features a dedicated shop area in the rear, ideal for hobbyists, woodworkers, or anyone who needs a serious workspace. But the true magic of this property lives in the backyard -- a lush, private retreat that delivers a genuine forest bathing experience. Wander along winding paths through mature greenery, gather around the outdoor fire pit under the stars, and enjoy the serenity of a beautiful fish pond. Whether you're unwinding solo or hosting friends, this backyard offers something special at every turn. All of this is just minutes from downtown Covington -- walkable to charming shops, acclaimed restaurants, and vibrant nightlife in one of Louisiana's most beloved small cities. This one is more than a house -- it's a lifestyle. $11,000 window credit to be provided with an acceptable offer.
