Thinking of moving to a country setting, but NOT on gravel road? Want a little land but not to much? Been looking for a home in the Covington School district? This adorable 2 bedroom one bath Farmhouse that was remodeled approx 7 yrs ago is ready for you. This Farmhouse sits on a little over an acre and is 7.5 miles from Covington. The landing upstairs is large and if needed could potentially be made a 3rd bedroom. The barn needs some TLC, but my oh my the options are endless, part of the barn is sound the other part would need renovated. There is an area off the barn that at one time was fenced for animals, but again TLC is needed. The barn is being sold “as is.” Fiber optic internet is expected soon!!
