$2,900,000 - Covington, LA
123 N Dogwood Drive Covington, LA - Perched on 3.56 acres with 268 feet of navigable Tchefuncte River frontage, this transformed estate blends elegance with modern function. A custom iron entry leads into a soaring foyer with a grand staircase, wrought iron handrail, and a striking hand-blown glass chandelier with an electronic lift. Cross-beamed ceilings, designer lighting, and four fireplaces add warmth and character throughout. The professional-grade kitchen is built for both culinary enthusiasts and entertainers, featuring a Thor range with eight burners, a griddle, dual ovens, a custom hood with a pot filler, three dishwashers, two warming drawers, a double standing wine cooler, an ice maker, and quartz countertops with a Calacatta Gold marble backsplash. An enclosed herb garden room with a misting system sits just off the kitchen, offering fresh ingredients year-round. The adjacent bar boasts a Cristallo stone countertop, ice maker, sink, custom cabinetry, and a sleek glass-enclosed wine room. A media room with stadium seating for 12 provides a true cinematic experience, while the mahogany-paneled office—crafted from wood repurposed from the original home—adds sophistication. The primary suite is a private retreat with French doors that frame picturesque river views, a morning kitchen, and an en suite featuring dual sinks, marble countertops, a soaking tub, a dual-head shower, and a spacious custom closet with an island and private laundry. The home is updated with a new shingle roof (2019), four zoned HVAC systems, three tankless water heaters, a commercial Phase 3 electrical system, a designated IT closet, and an artisan well reaching 1,829 feet deep. A footbridge leads to a Redwood entertaining pavilion, while a hidden underground wine cellar with cement walls, mahogany wine racks, and a dehumidifying system offers a rare collector’s space. Thoughtfully designed and meticulously upgraded, this waterfront property is a true standout.
