Brimming with thoughtful updates, this 1,760-square-foot home in Covington’s quiet Timber Hills neighborhood is move-in ready. From the light-filled living room to the renovated kitchen, this home’s dialed in spaces offer a lovely backdrop for all that life brings your way. A total of 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths offer flexibility, and that’s only the beginning. The backyard is especially not to miss—this retreat is ready for summer fun, relaxation, and entertaining! Located at 20004 SE 268th Street Covington, WA 98042 and no more than 5 minutes to shopping, dining, schools, parks and more, this Covington home is listed for $650,000. 

Beautiful established landscaping lends itself to this home’s charming curb appeal, and arriving home is a delight! Fresh interior paint gives this home that “like new” feel, and you’ll also find updated windows and trim, a newer furnace, and a kitchen renovation all included in this home’s recent refresh. Additionally, details like stylish light design, modern ceiling fans, transom windows, and skylights elevate this home’s overall aesthetic even more. All you need to do is move right in and make it your own! 

The sundrenched living room beckons just in through the front door. Soaring ceilings let this haven feel even larger, and the seamless layout flows into the dining room and kitchen. Those who love to entertain are sure to appreciate having dedicated spaces for hosting, with even more possibilities out on the back patio. 

In the kitchen, an impressive renovation elevates your experience, whether you’re cooking, baking, enjoying your morning cup of coffee, or serving refreshments to guests. Pristine white cabinetry and a custom pantry offer ample storage, stainless steel appliances are at the ready, while bar seating and space for a bistro set or chef’s island expand your possibilities. 

The kitchen opens up into the bright family room, making it easy to spend quality time with loved ones, and the cook is always part of the conversation. Kick back and unwind alongside the cozy fireplace (or keep cool with AC on hot days) and catch up on your favorite TV shows, or visit with friends in the laid-back setting. Plus, effortless access to the back patio expands your living and dining space whenever the sun comes out! 

Discover peaceful privacy and versatility with this home’s 3 bedrooms. The primary suite boasts a spacious layout along with an ensuite bath and a walk-in closet; find your restful and rejuvenating getaway here! 

With this property’s outdoor setting, the sky’s the limit—while you can easily enjoy both the front yard and backyard as is, there’s plenty of potential for adding your own personal touch. Plant your favorite flowers in the garden beds, and create your dream oasis on the patio. After a long day, find true relaxation in the hot tub. Pure bliss!
