Property Description
This is the dream! Over 3 acres in the heart of Columbia! This elegant estate predates Columbia and is one of the highly sought-after pre-Columbia custom builds that prioritizes traditional craftsmanship over mass production. Nestled in the middle of trees and backing to open space, it boasts expanses of lawn, a pool, and total privacy. Enjoy the summer from your flagstone patio out back, or from the screened in porch, or maybe under the pergola overlooking the pool. Built in 1950, this beautiful home has rich historic touches, like the original slate roof, but has been modernized with an updated kitchen and appliances, and public water and sewer. The main level has large but gracious living spaces, including two fireplaces, a formal living room leading to the sun room, a formal dining room with hand painted decor, and a large family room with another fireplace, and a door leading to the screened in porch. The rear of the house is the private spaces, with the primary bedroom and en-suite bathroom, and two additional bedrooms with a wonderful jack and jill style bathroom in retro black and white. The upper level is an adorable dormer space, with a living area and two more bedrooms, one with a stone fireplace. The lower level is partially finished, with one recreation room and bathroom facilities, a workbench area, and a huge amount of storage. It's amazing to find such elegance, charm, and acreage in the heart of Columbia! The county believes the lot to be dividable, but buyer should verify.
