About This Home

Just minutes from the Covington Square, this property offers a rare combination of workshop space and a nearly 1/2-acre lot! This charming 4-sided brick ranch offers nearly 1,500 square feet with 3 bedrooms, hardwood floors throughout, fresh interior paint, and an updated kitchen that gives the home a clean, move-in ready feel. Major improvements have already been taken care of, including a recently installed HVAC system, updated electrical panel, and a roof approximately 7 years old, providing added peace of mind for buyers. Step outside and enjoy a spacious backyard with plenty of room to create your own outdoor retreat. The property also includes an attached workshop/man cave offering excellent space for hobbies, projects, storage, or a private retreat, along with a large detached storage building in the backyard. An above-ground pool with deck is also present and offers potential for future use if desired. Homes with this much space, flexibility, and proximity to downtown Covington don't come along often - schedule your showing today.
