About This Home

As of July 2025

Step into the warmth and comfort of this inviting Columbia home, where thoughtful updates and peaceful surroundings offer the perfect blend of charm and practicality. The spacious living room features a cozy brick fireplace and hardwood floors that flow seamlessly into the expansive eat-in kitchen, outfitted with stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, and plenty of counter space for cooking and entertaining. Just off the dining area, sliding glass doors open to a large back deck, ideal for summer grilling or simply soaking in the quiet views. The home is equipped with a new compression tank for the furnace, updated hot water tank, and digital thermostats in all three heating zones for maximum efficiency and control. Outside, unwind on the classic covered front porch or retreat to the private, tree-lined backyard that offers both space and serenity. Whether you're sipping coffee, hosting friends, or watching the seasons change, the setting feels like a true escape-yet you're still close to major universities, shopping, and commuter routes, all without sacrificing the peaceful charm of country living.
