For the first time since 1908, this historic Covington property is being offered for sale outside the family that has cherished it for generations. Built in 1903 and nestled in the beloved West 20's neighborhood, this century-old home is rich in history and ready for its next chapter. Situated on a generous 120' x 150' double lot and along the Mardi Gras parade route, the home features an attic converted into an apartment with an efficiency kitchen, bedroom, living space, and a full bath. While the upstairs apartment remains in relatively good condition, the main level requires extensive restoration. For those with a passion for historic homes, this is an opportunity to breathe new life into a piece of Covington's past, preserving its character while reimagining it for modern living or use this rare opportunity for redevelopment.Whether restored to its former glory or transformed into something entirely new, this property offers a step back in time, incredible location, and so many possibilities. Commercial zoning provides additional flexibility for potential uses.Over a century of family history, one extraordinary property, and a new chapter waiting to be written.
