The Kilbourne House - A rare opportunity in the heart of Heathwood, 3811 Kilbourne Road pairs the craftsmanship and character of a 1940s home with the comfort and sophistication of a thoughtful modern renovation. Original hardwood floors, graceful architectural details, vintage hardware and multiple fireplaces preserve the home's history, while beautifully updated living spaces make it completely suited for today. At the heart of the home is an exceptional chef's kitchen featuring premium Monogram appliances, an oversized island, custom cabinetry and a striking original fireplace. Walls of windows fill the adjoining breakfast and gathering spaces with natural light, creating an inviting setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The main-level primary suite offers the privacy and convenience today's buyers seek, with two walk-in closets, a dedicated laundry area and a spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub and an oversized tiled shower. Elegant living and dining spaces complete the main level, while the home's original hardwoods, curved staircase, round window, basketweave tile and vintage porcelain and brass hardware provide the character that simply cannot be recreated in new construction. Upstairs are four additional bedrooms and three full baths, including a junior suite, along with a second laundry area and flexible space for guests, family or a home office. Behind the beauty are meaningful updates to the home's electrical, plumbing, ductwork and HVAC systems, offering modern comfort while respecting the integrity of the original residence. Outside, an expanded backyard, a spacious patio, mature trees, and a newly added front driveway create additional room for entertaining, gardening, and enjoying one of Columbia's most established neighborhoods. Historic character. Modern luxury. A beautifully reimagined Heathwood home ready for its next chapter.

Heathwood, located between Forest Drive and Trenholm Road, is a residential and leafy Columbia neighborhood with curving streets and mid-century character. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the Forest Drive corridor near Trenholm Plaza, where coffee counters, local boutiques, and lunch spots set a steady daytime rhythm. Ranch homes and brick traditionals sit under mature trees, with sidewalks and pocket greens shaping a walk-and-roll feel. Sesquicentennial State Park adds piney trails and a lake backdrop for outdoor routines. The Columbia Museum of Art and the Koger Center for the Arts anchor nearby cultural nights. The Columbia Canal and Riverfront Park extends the landscape with waterway paths and skyline views.

The purpose of the Residential Single-Family-Large Lot (RSF-1) District is to provide lands that accommodate primarily single-family detached dwellings at very low densities. The district also accommodates parks and recreation centers, government offices, and minor utility facilities.
