Other in Covington, LA

We are honored to reintroduce this unique estate with an enviable Jahncke Avenue address marquee nestled in the heart of Covington. Freshly named "LeCour Atelier" for "The Courtyard Studio", this special home combines an elegant courtyard entrance with a creative interior color palate, and carefully curated finishes to offer an elevated yet comfortable living experience. The spacious 1825 sf flagstone courtyard is framed by substantial concrete walls, floor to ceiling windows and eight sets of French doors. Covered porches, gas lanterns, a fountain and a climate-controlled pigeonneire all come together to effortlessly create an amazing entertaining venue with a French Quarter feeling. From the courtyard, one can enter the home directly into either the casual or the more formal entertaining spaces, and then immediately come to appreciate how the individual rooms, while defined, are spacious and comfortable. The receiving salon is flanked to the left by the large keeping room, and a gourmet kitchen with a service kitchen that connects to the dining room. To the right is a smartly positioned home office / bedroom with a private bath, then the formal living room, and just beyond is the master suite with a private covered patio that opens to the courtyard. The first floor features barge-wood floors, excellent craftsmanship and unique attention to detail throughout, such as the stairs to the second floor which feature a fun Tony Mose design - please note that all of the carefully curated materials and features of this estate are fully detailed in the attached "Amenities & Features" supplement. Currently, the second floor includes four en-suite bedrooms and two dens, yet it could easily be reconfigured into two junior suites and two smaller ensuite bedrooms, if one were so inclined. While the side and back yards are currently great spaces for children and pets to play, we have included some virtual options of adding a swimming pool to the courtyard and backyard. Peace of mind is provided with a 17 KW generator, 2022 roof, freshly painted interior in 2024 and garage parking for two vehicles. Additionally, please note the added value of the improvements/work recently completed: new commercial-grade Frigidaire refrigerator was added to the kitchen, A/C ductwork was cleaned, exterior brick and stucco has been painted, kitchen cabinets have beed refreshed and a new "ready-to-install" A/C air handler has been placed in the attic . . . LeCour Atelier - the perfect balance of old-world charm and a creative living experience, located just minutes from the Hwy 21 medical corridor, and the retail and dining experiences of Downtown Covington.
