The Bogue Falaya River of St. Tammany Parish has its own crescent, but instead of a bend in the great waterway, this one is a stellar home that looks out over the slow-moving currents.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
From the rear, the home forms a crescent around the pool area.<\/p>\n
The midcentury home sits on more than 3 acres of waterfront real estate that features a private lagoon with an island, accessed by a bridge \u2014 all bonuses to the artistic-level design of the dwelling.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A curved wall of windows creates a crescent at the Covington midcentury modern home, overlooking the pool and the extensive back yard.<\/p>\n
With more than 5,000 square feet, four bedrooms and baths and a curve of glass, the home at 62 E. Seventh Ave. in Covington is a $2.8 million work of art.<\/p>\n
Three distinctive units seem to join together at the front of the home, with two wings forming a chevron around the curved central section. A broad stone walkway, edged with interesting landscaping, leads to the glass front door.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Suspended stairs lead to the upper hallway of the home, with access to the large balcony overlooking the back yard.<\/p>\n
The massive foyer, stretching to the second floor, is highlighted by the curved wall of glass overlooking the pool and the river. A suspended staircase to the right leads to the upper floor that also capitalizes on view with a wall of windows looking out over the balcony.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Soaring ceilings are hallmarks of the foyer of the home.<\/p>\n
Also to the right, a short hall leads to a bedroom that looks out back with a full bath just outside the room, accessible from the main public areas of the house.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Clerestory windows pour light into the primary bedroom of the home, a retreat set off from the rest of the home.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A large double vanity is the centerpiece of the primary en suite, which features a walk-through shower, soaking tub and double walk-in closets.<\/p>\n
An angled hall leads to the primary suite, a unit unto itself. The sleeping chamber is characterized by a quartet of clerestory windows. The spalike bath, with a large double vanity, features two walk-in closets, a soaking tub and walk-through shower plus a water closet.<\/p>\n
Across the foyer from the bedrooms lies a sitting area, perfect for more intimate conversations and grand views of the home and surroundings. A sun room, complete with more windows overlooking the front gardens, is adjacent.<\/p>\n
Two hallways, one hugging the crescent wall of glass, the other more central, lead past a pantry and the laundry room to the home’s kitchen.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
An island separates the kitchen from the living room, creating a vast space for culinary preparation and casual serving.<\/p>\n
Natural wood tones highlight the kitchen, laden with stainless professional-grade appliances and dark counters for flair. An island features the sink and more appliances.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Two walls of glass converge at the dining room of the home, creating an al fresco feel to any meal.<\/p>\n
On the other side of the island is the home’s dining area, enjoying additional views of the back and featuring a wet bar with dishwasher close at hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A fireplace and built-in cabinetry and shelves are part of the living room.<\/p>\n
Finishing the main portion of the living area is a high-ceilinged space with a corner fireplace and generous amount of shelves and cabinets for electronics, literature and objet d’art. Additional windows and doors to the back are located nearby.<\/p>\n
Upstairs, two additional bedrooms are located at either end of the crescent. A balcony overlooking the backyard is accessible as well.<\/p>\n
Carved with a unique shape out of the backyard, the home’s artesian well pool is surrounded by patio space expansive enough for lounging as well as dining. Old-growth trees and the Bogue Falaya form a dramatic backdrop.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A boat dock and fire pit are part of the outdoor living spaces at this home on Seventh Avenue in Covington.<\/p>\n
In addition to the private lagoon with island, there is a boat dock with a fire pit and a three-car garage for vehicles and sporting equipment.<\/p>\n
