Description

The Bank took this one back and auctioned it for less than accept our much higher offer. Sometimes things just make no sense in the short sale world.

Bank approval was received today and this sale is READY! We have the attention of the bank negotiator too, he’ll move quickly if you do!!

At almost 2000 square feet, this is a BIG house for only $214,000. (Did I mention this price is APPROVED???) This rambler-styled home with fenced yard and great Timber Hills neighborhood, is located in convenient Covington, just minutes away from great shopping–Costco. Home Depot, Kohls–not to mention Highway 18 for easy commuting.

Through the front door is the main living area with the living, dining, kitchen, family, and laundry rooms, plus three bedrooms. In the master suite are an extra-long closet and recently updated 3/4 bath with tile floor & walk-in shower. Sliders just off the dining room lead to the fenced back yard, wonderful large deck with built-in seats, and patio.

Just four steps up and above the garage, is a huge 440 square foot bonus room, which could also be a very generous 4th bedroom as there are two deep walk-in closets.

Storage everywhere–There’s a pull-down attic stairway in the hallway leading to floored additional storage space. And a few steps down from the kitchen are an extra-deep double-door garage with openers, workbenches, shelves and storage.

You’ll need to replace the furnace, but the rest looks largely cosmetic. Should be a fairly easy fixer!
