This home is a 1961, brick, 1900 or so square foot home on 5 acres right in the heart of Covington. The house has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a dining room, a bonus den, and a separate laundry room. We have two fire places, one cast insert for wood and the other is gas. We're right around the corner from Kmart, and just a mile from Newton High School. We have a large one room basement shop, a two car enclosed garage, a barn out back in addition to a deck, fenced yard, front porch, and great landscaping. My wife and I have loved this house for the last 6 years, but job changes are forcing us to move south. Once you see this house, you'll realize that you really can't beat this deal. The land is nice with lots of potential. A couple of acres are wooded, the rest is yard. The back yard is fenced with a 6' privacy fence. We have a small pond in the front yard for goldfish, low voltage landscape lighting, an arbor, a butterfly garden, a vegetable patch, and great plants. We added the garage two years ago.
Please note that the pictures were taken BEFORE renting the house for two years. The yard has not been so nicely kept, and the inside of the house is a bit of a mystery. The house is rented until June 30th, 2014.
