1229 Hagood Ave Columbia, SC 29205

Blending historic charm and modern comfort, this 1940s Melrose Heights home stands on a spacious corner lot in one of Columbia's most coveted neighborhoods. From the impressive curb appeal to the meticulously preserved details within, 1229 Hagood Avenue offers a living experience truly rare to find. Step inside the foyer and be greeted by beautiful hardwood floors and a wealth of features such as the modern kitchen with high end stainless steel appliances, twin fireplaces in the formal living and dining rooms, and custom craftsmanship seen in the floor-to-ceiling bookcases and cleverly integrated built-ins, including a hidden bar and dedicated coffee bar—all perfect for entertaining, along with high ceilings and moldings through all rooms that give a more spacious feel. This home defies the typical vintage blueprint, boasting hard-to-find amenities like a separate den/family room, a large walk-in pantry, and a dedicated laundry room. The en-suite primary bedroom is a serene retreat, complete with a walk-in closet. Bedrooms two and three (one with a walk-in closet) sit on the opposite side of the home with a shared bathroom. Outside, the fully fenced-in property features landscape lighting and a custom, low-maintenance hardscape patio set amidst charming landscaping—an ideal setting for elegant al fresco dining. Hosting is a dream with the whole-home speaker system (including outdoor zones). Adding to its distinctive appeal are a detached storage shed and a relaxing outdoor spa/hot tub (conveyance negotiable). With double driveways, ample off-street parking is a breeze. The huge front yard is pre-approved for fencing in, should you want to mimic other homes in the neighborhood with a classic front-yard picket fence. This tree lined neighborhood is zoned for award-winning schools and is mere steps from Dreher High School, Melrose Park, and the premier dining and shopping of Devine Street and Milwood Avenue. Another feature is the soon-to-open full dining restaurant and market next to the New York Butcher Shop on Gervais St. Do not miss the opportunity to own this cherished and unique home—schedule your private showing today!
