About This Home
As of December 2020Welcome to what is probably the most spectacular townhome to hit the market in lovely Columbia! This home is packed full of amazing features from the moment you enter the front gate. The attention to detail that is obvious throughout the house starts with the beautifully restored front door. It only gets better from there. The faux fireplace provides an awesome statement piece in the living room, along with ornate trimwork. You'll be delighted by the spacious kitchen, featuring a large eat-in island, and beautiful new cabinetry, counters, and appliances. Also on the HUGE first floor is a powder room, laundry room, as well as a spacious bonus room for storage at the rear entrance. Moving on to the second floor, you'll be absolutely delighted by the master suite. Featuring a walk-in closet, a spacious shower and a soaking tub, and a large private balcony, this is an absolute show stopper. The rest of the second floor features two more spacious bedrooms and your guest bath. The third floor is a whole special creation of its own, perhaps best suited for an artist's studio or a home office. With beautiful original floors & beams, loads of natural light streaming in, and a glimpse of the Susquehanna River, inspiration will be easily found here. As if all of this isn't enough, moving outside you'll find a large 2 car garage/carport, along with a 3rd private parking space. And the side yard is huge by city standards, with lots of room for entertaining, or for pets or children to fully enjoy. Don't miss your opportunity to see this spectacular home!
