SOLD! Sellers are Serious! 3 Beds/1 Bath; Covington; $270k!!!

OPEN HOUSE

Sunday, 10/22 11am-2pm

It sometimes defies logic why one house sells and another doesn’t for a while. This is such as super little house … it’s truly time for this to sell! It’ll make someone such a great starter home or even a rental perhaps.

Awesome location within walking distance to Kentwood High School. Lovely neighborhood! Close to Covington shopping and two different Highway 18 entrances/exits.

So what does it need? Well, there’s no dishwasher, which seems to be an issue. Really? No one washes dishes by hand in lovely little kitchens? It has a small bath … AND???? And no, there’s not a garage. And yes, someone might want to change out the baseboard heaters to wall heaters and even replace a few windows here and there.

But good grief! New paint inside and out, 2015 architectural roof, 2015 water heater, refreshed bathroom with new sink & vanity, TONS of storage. BIG laundry room that could easily house at least a half-bath. Laminate flooring throughout. Kitchen appliances stay with the home. A lovely fenced yard with garden boxes and a shed. Lots of off-street parking. And did I mention that it’s really cute?

Super cute! Only $275k 3 Bedrooms 1 Bath Covington WA Kentwood HS

By

$275,000

16911 SE 254th Place
Covington, WA 98042
MLS# 1192964

This darling little home is the perfect starter or perhaps an investment property for your rental portfolio. Three bedrooms and one bath (with maybe room for another), the home has been nicely refreshed for sale. Notice the almost new roof? And fresh paint? And neat and tidy landscaping?

Bedrooms are split, with the largest room in what was probably a converted garage (long ago). There’s a huge laundry / mudroom on the back side of the home behind this bedroom that just may be large enough to add a second bath if you need another. The kitchen was also updated with new cabinets and counters and all of the kitchen appliances remain with the home (move right in!).

The back yard is fully fenced and really large with garden boxes and a cute garden shed as well. Lots of room for play for both two-legged and four-legged friends.

Finally, talk about location! Walk to Kentwood High School or shop in nearby Covington or Kent. Highway 18 is just minutes away as well, which makes commuting much easier.

And for more than the listing price! I love working with clients that understand how important it is to listen to suggestions on preparing their home for the market and stay involved throughout the entire process. Once the home is listed, everything moves fast and cleanly from start to end.

They accomplished their goal quickly and with a minimum of fuss!

Congratulations and thank you to the entire team — escrow, title, the sign folks, the roofer, the appraiser, the bank, the buyer’s broker … and my fabulous clients!
