Located in a quaint subdivision, named for Saint Gertrude located off River Road near the St. Joseph Abbey. St. Gertrude subdivision features 22 upscale homes on oversized lots. The home is close to Covington shopping and restaurants but has a country feel. The current owners purchased the home in 2011 and undertook a year long renovation. Heart Pine floors were installed in the living room and bedrooms. Old Chicago Brick was added to the Foyer and Fire Place. The kitchen received new counter tops, back splash, tile floors and all new appliances including double oven and range. In 2015, extensive additions were added including media room with heart pine floors, cypress wainscoting and paneled walls. Surround sound was installed for the media room and to other living areas. A large office with full old Chicago brick floors were installed with cypress wainscoting and expansive windows overlooking the backyard gardens and court yard. Views to the gardens are also available from the garden room and back sunroom which were also added in the additions. An oversized three car garage was added, but the third space in the garage currently features a heated/airconditioned exercise/storage room. (A free-standing wall could be removed to return it to provide three enclosed parking spaces.) The roof was replaced during the "addition" time. The home features numerous outside sitting areas to provide views of the gardens including a large covered gazebo on the side yard, a side patio off the kitchen perfect for morning coffee or breakfast, a large courtyard in the backyard for entertaining and four outside covered porches. For your four-legged family members, a large kennel with heated and cooled house is provided. A workshop, garden equipment room and large covered shed for boats or RV's is provided. Located in FLOOD ZONE C, home has never flooded. Full house generator with automatic transfer.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
