The large lot provides plenty of room for recreation, gardening, and enjoying the beauty of nature year-round. Lake Varner is one of Covington's hidden gems, offering opportunities for kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and wildlife watching, all without the noise and traffic of gas-powered boats.

Enjoy evenings riding a golf cart or walking to the lake for access. To ensure a seamless transition for its next owner, the seller has completed numerous updates, including fresh interior paint, exterior trim and front door painting, deck improvements, new carpeting, new lighting fixtures, and more, making it move-in ready and ready to impress.
