About This Home

As of July 2025

Welcome to this one-of-a-kind Victorian-style home, offering over 5,500 square feet of beautifully maintained living space with 5 spacious bedrooms and 3.5 baths. Set on one-third of an acre in Columbia’s Owen Brown Woods, this home is nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac surrounded by mature trees. Thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, it’s a truly special find. The inviting front porch with a gazebo sets the stage for the home's classic style and character. Step into the grand two-story foyer and admire the beautifully refinished hardwood floors that extend throughout the bright and open main level. The formal living room features soaring ceilings and abundant natural light, creating a perfect place to relax and unwind. An arched entryway with columns leads you to the dining room, accented with crown and chair-rail moldings and French doors that open to a charming screened-in porch. The spacious kitchen features a center island with bar seating, abundant counter space, tile backsplash, and a sunny eat-in area with a bay window. A French door off the kitchen opens to the rear deck —perfect for summer dining and gatherings. The family room, with a 2-story ceiling, skylights, and a wood-burning fireplace, offers a welcoming space for relaxing evenings. Need a main-level bedroom? The full bath attached to the office adds flexibility and can easily serve as a guest suite. Upstairs, you will find stunning hardwood floors continuing throughout this level. The oversized primary suite is a true retreat, featuring cathedral ceilings, French door that open to a private upper deck, a spacious walk-in closet, and two additional oversized closets. The spa-like ensuite bath offers a skylight, 2 separate vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate standing shower. Convenience abounds with a dedicated laundry room on the upper level. Three additional bedrooms—including a light-filled, turret-style room—and another full bath complete this level. The expansive rec room in the lower level offers endless possibilities with space for a game room, home theater or gym. The lower level also has a half bath and extensive storage options, space for an additional bedroom, as well as walk-out access to the side yard. Located just minutes from shopping, restaurants, trails, the Hickory Ridge Village Center, the new Merriweather District and downtown Columbia, as well as commuting routes such as routes 29, 32, 100, and 95. PLUS no HOA or CPRA fees—this is the ideal place to call home! Recent upgrades: Roof (2016), chimney (2024), radon remediation system (2024), water heater (2020) and more.
