About this home.

This charming 1920 Victorian-style property is located in a prime area of Covington, just one street from downtown and along one of the city's main streets. With its excellent visibility and central location, this property offers a rare opportunity for both residential and business use.

For more than 15 years, the home has been used as a professional office, making it a great fit for anyone looking for space for a business, office, or mixed use. The main level offers a flexible layout with multiple rooms, a kitchen area, and a half bath, providing plenty of room for offices, meeting space, or creative work areas. Upstairs, the home features three rooms currently used for offices and storage, along with a full bath, offering easy potential to serve as bedrooms, living space, or continued office use.

The property allows for many possibilities. It can continue as a commercial office, be converted back into a single-family home, or be used as a combination of both, such as working downstairs while living upstairs.

Classic character is found throughout, including a wraparound porch across the front and one side of the home, original hardwood floors, high ceilings, an original staircase, and charming period details that reflect the home's 1920s roots. Exterior features include a metal roof, vinyl siding, and a fully fenced backyard. Property is equipped with an electric heat pump with central air.

Additional highlights include a detached one-car garage located at the rear, rear alley access with off-street parking for approximately two to three vehicles, and a rear access ramp that provides convenient entry.

This is a unique and inviting property with historic charm, strong presence, and outstanding location, perfect for anyone looking to establish a business, invest, or enjoy a home with flexible use options close to downtown.
