Looking for a rough gem to polish? This 3-bdrm, 1,000 sq-ft. home in the covington area is ready to shine. The home, which sits on almost a ¼ acre, remains essentially the same as at the time of construction in 1963, with no unsightly conversions to undo. Inside, the home would definitely benefit from TLC and elbow grease, but the basic components are sound. Given the hardwood floors and aged brick fireplace as a starting point, someone looking to bank sweat equity could turn this uncut diamond into a faceted beauty with paint, tools and imagination. The home’s location on a dead-end street offers privacy in a neighborhood that is convenient to highways 18 and 169. This is a great starter home or a fine location to downsize
