Property Description
Tucked away on a close-in acre along Little Soos Creek, this Covington oasis offers the rare blend of privacy, beauty, and everyday convenience. Towering Douglas fir, cedar, and hemlock frame a tranquil, forested setting rich with native plantings and abundant wildlife—deer, ducks, herons, otters, and even seasonal salmon runs. The gentle sounds of the creek create a peaceful backdrop to daily life, while the greenhouse and garden invite year-round enjoyment. The home reflects the enduring quality of its era, with classic Redwood siding and hardwood floors throughout the main level, thoughtfully refreshed with a 2023 remodel. The updated kitchen and baths, fresh interior paint, and new carpet and LVP flooring on the lower level offer a clean, modern feel while honoring its original character. Generous windows bring in natural light and showcase the surrounding greenery from nearly every room. Downstairs, a fully equipped apartment provides exceptional flexibility—ideal for multigenerational living, an ADU, rental income, or a home-based business. Additional highlights include covered RV parking with hookups, easily accommodating up to four vehicles or recreational toys. All of this, just minutes to Hwy 18, major freeways, shopping, dining, and everyday essentials—yet it feels a world away. Even local favorites, schools, and neighborhood spots are just a short stroll from your doorstep, offering the best of both convenience and quiet retreat.
