The J. Henry SPecker House is a beautifully restored historic Covington home, thoughtfully renovated with modern comforts and timeless charm. Walk to Hotel Covington, The Grand, Pinnacle Ballrooms, St. Mary's Cathedral Basilica, Mother of God Church, restaurants, and the riverfront. Minutes from downtown Cincinnati, Paycor Stadium, Great American Ball Park, and Heritage Bank Center.
The space
At over 4,200 square feet across three floors, this is not your average home.
The kitchen is enormous — a true gathering space outfitted with brand new luxury appliances and designed for people who actually cook (and those who just like to linger with a drink while someone else does). It flows naturally into a formal dining room that seats a full group with ease.
The main floor offers distinct living spaces — a main living room and a separate sitting parlor — giving your group room to spread out without feeling on top of each other. A dedicated home office rounds things out for anyone who needs to steal an hour of work between adventures.
Despite its 1870s origins, the home has been fully and thoughtfully renovated. Luxury finishes throughout, brand new appliances, new TVs in the living spaces, and a whole-home Sonos sound system mean you get the soul of a historic home with none of the compromise. The character stayed. Everything else got an upgrade.
Throughout, you'll find the hallmarks of a true Italianate Victorian: soaring ceilings, original millwork, tall windows flooding the rooms with light, and the kind of presence that newer construction simply cannot replicate.
