About This Home

As of March 2025

Welcome to your beautifully renovated dream home! Across the street from Locust Street Park and a short walk to the dining, shopping, and other attractive amenities of downtown Columbia, this property offers an ideal blend of urban convenience and peaceful small town living. As you approach, you'll immediately notice the thoughtful renovations starting with a new roof and windows. Step through the front door, and you'll be wowed by the beautifully designed interior. The open floor plan seamlessly connects the living, kitchen and dining areas, creating a spacious and inviting environment perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The kitchen and dining area extends to a lovely patio that will be a delight on summer days, enhancing your outdoor living experience. The kitchen is a true highlight, featuring beautiful cabinetry, quartz countertops, lots of tile, and stainless steel appliances. The first floor also features a half bath and spacious laundry room for your convenience. Moving upstairs you'll find a primary bedroom with a walk in closet, a second bedroom on the second floor, and a beautifully done full bath. On the third floor is the third bedroom, very spacious and abundant windows for natural light. Back to the outside, the spacious backyard offers plenty of room for pets, children, or your dream outdoor oasis, as well as two off street parking spaces for your convenience. And the location; besides the convenience of being near downtown amenities, it's also amazing for nature enthusiasts. The North West River trail is a short bike ride away, and thousands of public acres of woods, streams, biking/hiking trails, and the Susquehanna & Conestoga river grace the nearby areas. Don’t miss this opportunity to make this exceptional home yours!
