About This Home
This delightful 2-bedroom Craftsman sits on a generous, level lot in the heart of the Columbia neighborhood. A welcoming covered front porch invites you into a home rich with vintage charm, featuring classic built-ins, storm windows, and a relaxing soaker tub. The bright and cozy interior offers comfortable living spaces and a sweet breakfast nook, perfect for everyday living. Outside, enjoy a large, flat, partially fenced backyard with endless possibilities, complete with a back deck that gets great morning sun to enjoy a cup of coffee, and a detached storage building. A long driveway provides ample off-street parking. Many updates have been done for you that include new roof 3 years ago, new hot water heater, new freestanding heater, new electrical panel, new chimney, some new windows, plus additional work inside. A partial unfinished basement, with a separate entrance, adds valuable flexibility for storage, hobbies, or future expansion. Ideally located within walking distance of local breweries, shops, dining, parks, trails, and green space. Whether you’re seeking a cozy primary residence, investment opportunity, or a first-time home with room for sweat equity, this charming home in a prime location is not to be missed.
