23375 Lowe Davis rd , Covington, LA, 70435, USA, 3260 sq. ft., 4 bedrooms, 3.50 bathrooms . Seller's Description: This house, 5 years old, is in a quiet peaceful setting. It is 68 feet above sea level, well drained and will never flood according to FEMA and Corps of Engineers maps. It is 600 feet off the country paved road with negligible traffic at the end of a granular driveway. The house was built by the architect as a retirement home. The house is premium quality throughout and contains many features not contained in subdivision houses. It is built on an old farm site with drought proof grasslands, wood, trees and a 3/4 acre pond of well fed fish. The pond has a convenient refill ( when necessary) from a large spray fountain with an endless supply of fresh well water. The well is into a sand/gravel aquifer that goes all the way to Kentucky. The well is 100 ft deep and has a hydrostatic pressure of about 65 feet so the water is only 35 ft below the surface. The premium water is one of the reasons I purchased this property. The sewer system is a private, self contained system. The house is 3205 sq. ft. and is Acadian style, 2 story brick. It is a spacious, open design. It has two master bedrooms downstairs each with its own bath. The large second floor playroom could be 1 or 2 more bedrooms, workroom or library. The first floor is ceramic tile. The 2nd floor is thick, plush carpet. The living room has a wood burning fireplace. It is wired with coaxial cable (as is the whole house) for satellite. The large kitchen has ceramic counters, light oak cabinets, premium appliances and pantry. There is a laundry room near the kitchen. The dining room is very large which now comfortably contains a 12 ft dining table, 13 chairs, china cabinet, lowboy and a corner cabinet. It also has a nice chandelier. All baths have simulated marble showers, tub surrounds and vanity tops. The house is very energy efficient by the employment of 14 different saving methods. The electric bill for May was &88.00. The house is all electric. I used to teach energy conservation for the state of Louisiana and I employed everything I know in the house. The house has insulated windows and doors, cut glass front door with sidelites, large walk-in closets, 9 ft ceilings, paneled interior doors, premium lighting fixtures. The first floor air conditioner is SEER 18. It uses 80% less power than the standard SEER 10. There is a built in vacuum system with a vacuum \"dust pan\" in the kitchen. The noisy power head is in the garage and isn't heard inside the house. There is a huge 1000 sq ft garage attached. The garage contains strong work benches and tables, laundry hook ups, laundry tub, 2 window A/C windows and metal pull down stair. There is a 16x32 of attic storage. There is a very large aluminum canopy covering the parking area, a sun patio of 13 x 22. Front and back porches are 6ft wide. This house is ideal for comfortable, suburban /country living. It is located only 6 miles from Covington and 5 mile from Abita Springs and approximately 36 miles North of New Orleans. Covington has 2 regional hospitals, many good shopping centers and good restaurants.
