Welcome to the Blue Cottage! Enter this special property through a canopy of trees opening to the expansive 2+ acres of land. The 1895 original Blue Cottage was damaged in Katrina and the previous owners rebuilt, replicated and enhanced the wooden exterior and appearance of the home. The interior was built with materials duplicating the same quality of the original structure including 9.9 foot high ceilings, five inch heart of pine floors and architectural copies of the ceiling and floor moldings. This special 4 bedroom, 3 bath home features a front and rear porches, an inviting foyer leading to a floor plan with open living room/dining room area adjacent to the gourmet kitchen, butler's pantry and family room with wet bar. Highlights of the kitchen are a center island, stone counters, custom cabinetry and stainless appliances. The family room with fireplace is light filled with glass doors opening to a delightful screened porch overlooking the landscaped vista of manicured rear yard and free form pond. The primary bedroom, walk in closet and luxurious primary bath with walk in shower and large bath tub represent one wing of luxury and privacy. 3 additional and 2 baths offer their own area for family and friends. A few steps away, a large detached 3 car garage provides convenience and a workshop area. This well located home is only a short distance to vibrant Downtown Covington with all the shopping, restaurants and entertainment areas so well loved by Northshore residents and visitors! Don't miss this opportunity to make this one of a kind property your own!
