PRICE ADJUSTMENT ~ Tucked at the end of a quiet Covington cul-de-sac with no HOA, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers space, comfort, and everyday convenience. Step inside to vaulted ceilings, warm natural light, and an inviting living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. The main floor flows easily into the dining area and kitchen, while the separate bonus/family room gives you valuable flex space for a home office, media room, playroom, etc. A half bath, utility room, and attached 2-car garage add function. Upstairs, the primary suite features a walk-in closet and private bath, with two additional bedrooms and a full bath nearby. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard ready for outdoor fun. The neighborhood offers paved streets, sidewalks, and green space at the end of the cul-de-sac, creating a tucked-away feel while still being close to shopping, dining, parks, schools, and freeway access.
