Discover an exceptional opportunity in Covington! This expansive two-level home offers nearly 3,000 square feet of flexible living space on almost 2 acres. The main level features 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a spacious kitchen, and bright living and dining areas centered around a cozy fireplace. The lower level offers tremendous versatility with a separate living area, full kitchen, bedroom, den, bath, and second fireplace—ideal for multi-generational living, extended guests, or potential income-producing use. Outside, enjoy territorial views, generous yard space, mature trees, a detached outbuilding, and room to create the lifestyle you've been dreaming about. Conveniently located near Lake Meridian, shopping, dining, and commuter routes while still offering a peaceful, country-like setting. This is an estate sale being sold AS-IS. The property is priced to reflect needed repairs and updates, creating a tremendous equity-building opportunity for investors, contractors, or buyers willing to roll up their sleeves. Pre-inspections are strongly recommended. A previous buyer was unable to wait through the estate approval process; that delay has now been fully resolved, making for a straightforward and easy closing. Bring your vision and unlock the incredible potential this rare property has to offer!
