Reclaimed ironwork from a New Orleans building and bricks from the original Charity Hospital, infusing historic charm throughout.
Working elevator enhances accessibility across all levels.
Private, serene grounds with lush old-growth plantings and direct river access, plus a pool fed by an artesian well for refreshing outdoor enjoyment.
Prime Covington location: walkable to shops, dining and local culture, yet incredibly private.
