What This Apartment Offers
218 W 5th Street, Unit 2 -- Covington, KY
Welcome home to this beautifully remodeled 1-bed, 1-bath unit in Covington. You’ll likely notice right away that the... outside of our historic duplex has a very obvious lean — it’s one of those quirky, character-filled older buildings that turns heads. The good news? During our full gut renovation we performed extensive structural work, including new framing, to fully correct the lean from the inside. An engineer has confirmed the building is completely safe.
Step inside and everything is perfectly level — with brand-new floors, windows, counters, and appliances throughout. The entire unit has been redone with premium finishes and thoughtful updates, giving it a fresh, modern feel that’s both stylish and comfortable. We’ve also brought everything up to current code with new wiring, plumbing, and insulation to help keep your utility bills nice and low.
Outside, the renovation also boasts historically accurate windows that preserve the building’s classic charm while bringing it up to modern standards.
Set in a highly sought-after area, this home offers the best of convenience and location. It is close to the highway for an easy commute, but not so close that you feel surrounded by traffic. You are also just minutes from MainStrasse, downtown Cincinnati, and some of the best dining, shopping, and entertainment Covington has to offer.
