Beautifully Updated Covington Rambler on a Quiet, End-of-Road Lot! Welcome home to this delightful, turn-key 3-bedroom rambler, perfectly situated at the end of a peaceful street with no through traffic. This unique lot borders a lush greenbelt directly along the side of the home, offering a lovely natural buffer where you can relax and enjoy the sounds of birds chirping from your fully fenced yard. Step inside to a light-filled living space featuring brand-new interior paint and gorgeous new carpeting throughout. The heart of the home is the beautifully remodeled kitchen, complete with premium quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and an attached eating space. The functional layout flows seamlessly into a spacious living room centered around a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and the full bathroom has been tastefully updated as well. A fantastic bonus: this home naturally stays refreshingly cool during the spring and summer months without the need for AC! Plus a 2 car attached garage. Exceptional updates offer total peace of mind, including a newer roof, a brand-new high-efficiency furnace, and a new tankless gas water heater. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the established backyard garden space and the easy stroll to Jenkins Creek Park. Located just minutes from downtown Covington, local schools, and fantastic community amenities—including a private community pool, clubhouse, and playgrounds. Situated within the Kent School District, this updated gem is completely move-in ready!
