About This Home
Live Grandly at Snowden Overlook! Welcome to a world of refined 55+ living where elegance, comfort, and convenience come together beautifully. Nestled within this highly desired gated community, this gracious villa invites you to embrace a maintenance-free lifestyle—without giving up the space and sophistication you deserve.
Tucked toward the back of the community for added privacy, this home offers a private garage, two-car driveway, and generous guest parking. With peaceful wooded views across the street, every arrival feels like a retreat. Step inside and be greeted by sunlit, soaring spaces—a dramatic two-story foyer sets the tone for the open, airy design. A formal dining room awaits memorable dinners, while the kitchen delights with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, double wall ovens, and a central island. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the two-story great room, where a gas fireplace adds warmth and charm. Glass doors lead to the private patio, creating the perfect indoor-outdoor flow for morning coffee or evening gatherings. Your main-level primary suite offers comfort and convenience, complemented by a full-size laundry area and powder room. Upstairs, a versatile loft provides space for relaxing, reading, or working - ideal for guests or hobbies alongside two generously sized bedrooms and a full bath.
Downstairs, the beautifully finished lower level offers endless possibilities: a home theater, craft studio, exercise area, or quiet retreat. A full bath adds flexibility for extended stays. Recent enhancements elevate peace of mind and everyday ease including: New HVAC system (2021); New water heater (2024); Brand-new refrigerator and dishwasher; Fresh paint throughout; New carpeting on main and upper levels; Rich hardwood flooring in the foyer, dining room, kitchen, and living areas.
At Snowden Overlook, every day feels like a getaway. The resort-style clubhouse—staffed full-time—offers a state-of-the-art fitness center, pool complex with lifeguards and kiddie pool, and inviting social spaces that make connecting with neighbors effortless. Beyond the gates, discover the very best of Columbia living—fine dining, boutique shopping, scenic trails, and vibrant cultural attractions—all just moments away. Security and serenity come standard, with a manned gatehouse from 8 PM to 5 AM daily.
