Description

Absolutely charming 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath brick 1.5-story home in the heart of Columbia with over 2500 sq. feet finished. Lovingly maintained by the same family for 64 years, this home blends timeless character with exceptional potential. A full east-facing front porch welcomes you with peaceful views and a classic porch swing—perfect for enjoying quiet mornings or warm summer evenings. Best seat in the house for Legion Park fireworks. Around the back, you’ll find a detached 2-car garage with overhead doors and ample storage space. The spacious rear porch offers two separate entry doors: one ideal for a home office, the other leading into the vintage eat-in kitchen. The kitchen features a refrigerator and range, a stunning built-in hutch with glass fronts, a full-size butler’s pantry with floor-to-ceiling historic cabinetry, and main-floor laundry for convenience. High ceilings and original plaster walls add to the nostalgic charm throughout the home. A generously sized living room provides the perfect backdrop for holiday décor and gatherings. The front door, complete with a working transom window, opens to a center staircase accented by vintage lighting. A main-floor bedroom with a large double closet sits just off the foyer. An additional family room or professional office—also with exterior access—could serve as a 4th bedroom if needed. A centrally located half bath completes the main level. Upstairs, a spacious landing makes an inviting reading nook. Two oversized bedrooms flank the stairwell, each offering walk-in closets plus additional storage. A full hall bath with tub, vanity, and commode serves the upper level. The lower level includes a stair lift (removable if desired) and opens to a flexible finished space with a walk-in closet—ideal for an office, family room, or game room. A compact bath with shower and vanity is tucked into the corner. The unfinished side houses mechanicals, a workshop area, and storage. This home has already passed occupancy. At this price, sellers will make no additional repairs. Roof is approximately 2–3 years old. A newer AC unit serves the main and lower levels; the upper level is cooled by a window unit. This is a wonderful opportunity to move in and update over time—there is plenty of room to build equity. Note: The wall coverings are patterned paneling, not wallpaper. It's an awesome house!
