Details

This house sits on a cul-de-sac in Covington Hollow, and the main draw is definitely the pond view. It's a pretty spacious place, with a two-story family room and a formal dining room. The kitchen has granite countertops and an island, plus a spot for casual dining. The primary suite is on the main floor, which is convenient, and it has dual vanities and a walk-in shower.

Upstairs, one bedroom has its own bathroom, and two others share a third full bath. The daylight basement is a bonus, offering a wood-burning fireplace and two distinct areas that could be used for anything from a rec room to a home gym. There's also an extra room down there that would work as a second office, workout space, or craft room, plus another full bathroom. Outside, it looks like a good spot for entertaining, and the low-maintenance landscaping is a plus. The exterior paint is fresh, and the windows have new tinting for better efficiency. It’s a solid home in a nice neighborhood, and for $600k, it seems to offer quite a bit.
