Welcome Home to the Covington House. A magnificent gem in the heart of our beautiful old town, Easton, MD. If location is important then there no better place than this stunning world class masterpiece. A privacy hedge and sizable circular drive add to the allure. The Covington House is nestled between South Harrison and Tyler Lane and features private outdoor space, a series of gardens and the artfully designed circular (heated) pool with fountains and idyllic gazebo poolside.
Upon entering the elegant and welcoming foyer you are delighted. The entire downstairs provides cozy spaces for reading, relaxing, and visiting with family and friends. The kitchen is sumptuous and is equipped for gatherings large and small. A secondary kitchen AND a butlers kitchen are features as well as a marvelous mud room - not your normal mud room but entirely functional. The elegant dining room is simply sublime. Then there is a den that is affectionately named the Snug. There is a grand living room and a light filled sunroom.
To access the other floors your choices are the stairs or in the magically hidden elevator (all 4 floors) to the 2nd floor where the primary bedroom suite liesa magical setting on its ownit features it own full boudoir bath and half bath and wonderful dressing room closet. Also there are 2 guest bedrooms, a full bath and a mini laundry center tucked near the primary walk in closet.
The 3rd floor features another sumptuous bedroom with en-suite full bath and several areas to lounge and read. Take the elevator down to the lower level and you will find a laundry station fit perfectly for this home. This whole area is climate-controlled and has a peripheral drain and sump system that resulted into a dry place in which furniture and clothes can be safely stored in a humidity-controlled environment. It also has plenty of storage for holiday decorations and clothing. The lower level also features a gym and a half bath.
The entire exterior gardens feature deep-trench drainage and irrigation systems throughout the gardens that enable the gardens to sustainably grow without flooding or standing water. The in-ground circular pool tastefully and peacefully, doubles as a reflection pool with fountains. The gazebo by the pool is focused on the gardens and blends in perfectly. A brick patio at the office court yard provides an area for friends and colleagues to meet in privacy with a vista of the gardens. Which brings us to the artist studio located at the back of the property facing Tylers Lane and is designed to bring life and intrigue to the life on the lane! There is a terraced and hedged garden there also. The quaint and unusual garden house is the main entrance from the lane. There is a double garage at rear with access from Tylers Lane. Not to be overlooked is the home office suite! Built to exacting standards the office, conference room, half bath and galley with coffee station is a wonderful addition to this private enclave. The coffered ceilings and the dedicated high speed, state of the art internet system is separate (electric also) makes this new era of working from home complete. In front of the office suite is another formal parterre gardens that brings peace and privacy to the office and gardens.
