About This Home
As of July 2025Open House: 5/17 from 11 am - 1 pm. Welcome to this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath home in the heart of Columbia! From the inviting front deck to the thoughtful interior updates, this home is full of character and functionality. The kitchen features a center island and stylish backsplash, with updated flooring in one of the bedrooms and some beautiful natural wood floors throughout. Before the current owners purchased in 2021, the home underwent a major remodel—including updates to the roof, gutters, plumbing, appliances, electric, flooring, sliding door, and some windows. The basement was also waterproofed, offering peace of mind and great storage potential. You’ll also enjoy the convenience of a 1-car garage and a full unfinished basement with laundry. Whether you're just starting out or looking to downsize, this move-in-ready gem offers a great blend of updates and charm!
