About this home
Boasting timeless Southern charm, this classic brick Colonial welcomes you home with an elegant circular front drive and exceptional curb appeal. Inside, the property features a meticulous timeline of premium upgrades. The fully renovated hall bath (2026) shines with a new tub, shower, vanity, toilet, and modern flooring. Freshly painted interiors and exteriors (2026) breathe new life into the entire upstairs, stairway, downstairs trim, front door, shutters, and stately exterior columns. No detail has been overlooked regarding mechanical efficiency and comfort: a new roof was installed in 2020, followed by a new heating/air gas pack and water heater in 2021. Indoor air quality is optimized by replaced crawl space ductwork (2022), replaced attic ductwork (2017), and a newly added Aerus air scrubber (2025). Complete with a new powder room floor (2025), updated appliances including a refrigerator and washer (2024), and fully replaced original windows and patio doors. You'll find beautiful hardwood floors throughout both levels and an updated kitchen featuring granite countertops, a gas range, custom cabinetry with a built-in spice cabinet, broom closet and oversized drawers for exceptional storage. Refrigerator, washer & dryer are included. The inviting living room showcases custom built-in cabinets and bookshelves, while the cozy den just off the kitchen features a masonry fireplace with gas logs—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Enjoy outdoor living in a fenced backyard featuring a concrete patio, a level lot, and a great spot for a garden. Ideally located in a desirable area with no HOA, this home offers both character and convenience. Disclaimer: CMLS has not reviewed and, therefore, does not endorse vendors who may appear in listings.
Southeastern Columbia, located between Fort Jackson and Congaree National Park, is a residential and outdoorsy Columbia neighborhood with a riverine landscape and long, wooded corridors. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Garners Ferry Rd and Leesburg Rd junction, where strip plazas, local eateries, and service storefronts set a steady, everyday rhythm. Pillars include the South Carolina State Farmers Market, the McKissick Museum at the University of South Carolina, and the Township Auditorium for live shows. Housing ranges from mid-century ranches to newer subdivisions, often on generous lots. Green space and water define the geography, with trails and floodplain forests nearby. Commutes and errands tend to follow the Garners Ferry spine toward downtown.
