About this home
Welcome to Riverton, one of the grandest homes on the Northshore and one of Covington's most distinguished historic estates. Nestled on approximately 4.9 private acres along the scenic Little Bogue Falaya River and less than two miles from downtown Covington, this magnificent Queen Anne Victorian, circa 1904, has been meticulously restored to preserve its architectural integrity while incorporating modern comforts.
This exceptional estate offers 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and 1 half bath, showcasing timeless craftsmanship throughout. Original heart pine floors, antique marble fireplace mantels, period plaster moldings, old-growth cypress millwork, and antique gasoliers celebrate the home's rich history. The spacious great room features a Rumford wood-burning fireplace with a herringbone firebox.
A major 2001 renovation added an expansive great room, a luxurious guest suite, and a stunning gourmet kitchen designed by acclaimed architect Richard Caldwell, featuring handcrafted dark cherry and custom cypress cabinetry by master craftsman Bill Kiermaier. French antique doors open to inviting porches overlooking landscaped grounds, featuring wraparound verandas with raised-seam copper roofs and tranquil fountains.
Completed in 2003, the impressive cabana includes a full kitchen, entertaining space, full bath, two-car garage, covered carport, workshop, utility area, and abundant storage, complemented by an in-ground pool. Additional features include an artesian flowing well, custom steel fencing with remote-controlled gates, and extensive landscape lighting.
Offered at $1,660,000—priced below recent appraisal by a motivated seller—Riverton combines historic elegance, exceptional craftsmanship, and modern convenience in a treasured riverfront setting. Qualified buyers only. Private showings by appointment....
