WELCOME TO RIVERBEACH COTTAGE WHERE YOU VACATION EVERYDAY WITH YOUR OWN PRIVATE SANDY BEACH JUST MINUTES FROM DOWNTOWN COVINGTON!
This extraordinary property offers approximately 2.5 acres of riverfront paradise on the Bogue Falaya with approximately 95 feet of your own private sandy beach.
Enjoy the rare combination of riverfront privacy, acreage, a private sandy beach, and a thoughtfully renovated home that honors its historical style while providing modern comfort and convenience—all just minutes from downtown Covington and its wonderful restaurants and shops.
This property was completely renovated to preserve its historical character and architectural style while incorporating modern conveniences and today’s desired amenities.
The dining room features vintage floor-to-ceiling doors that were completely restored, creating a true indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Relax on the covered front porch in a rocking chair while listening to the tranquil fountain. The rear of the property features a large covered patio for entertaining or simply relaxing and enjoying nature. The home features 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, refinished heart-of-pine floors, and custom shiplap walls. The renovated kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, a large island, and a gas range. Designer Laura Ashley tile adds a distinctive touch of timeless style to the bathrooms. The primary bathroom features radiant heat beneath the flooring and a skylight that fills the space with beautiful natural light. One of the bathrooms is a true “wet bathroom,” conveniently located just off the rear of the home by the mudroom, making it convenient for rinsing off after a day at the beach before entering the main living spaces. Additional improvements include a new metal roof, new circular driveway, custom garden landscaping, and a new wooden privacy fence.
This is more than a home—it is a true riverfront retreat where history, nature, and modern living come together.
