Monthly Estimate* How much can I afford?

There's something about a home shaded by mature trees, where moss softens the front lawn and the pace of life feels just a little slower. Welcome to 255 Lakeside Drive-a place that feels comfortably Southern from the moment you arrive. Inside, this freshly painted three-bedroom, two-bath home has been thoughtfully refreshed with new luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, creating a clean, welcoming backdrop ready for its next chapter. At the heart of the living room, a beautiful gas fireplace invites you to imagine cool Georgia evenings spent curled up with a good book, Sunday afternoons at home, and holidays gathered around the fire. The spacious garage offers plenty of room for vehicles, storage, hobbies, or all those things that simply need a place of their own. Outside, the established trees and moss-covered front yard give the property a character that newer neighborhoods spend years trying to create. And when you feel like venturing out, historic downtown Covington is less than ten minutes away. Spend a Saturday wandering the square, stopping for lunch, browsing locally owned shops, or discovering some of the familiar filming locations that have made Covington a destination for fans of television and film, including The Vampire Diaries and Sweet Magnolias. 255 Lakeside Drive offers the best kind of balance-a peaceful place to come home to, with one of Georgia's most charming historic downtowns just minutes away. Some homes simply give you an address. This one gives you a lifestyle.
