Brand new in Northwood Hills, 520 Romford Road delivers move-in-ready quality at a great price — just 20 minutes from all the opportunities in Downtown Columbia. Stone accents on the front gable, vinyl siding in a cool gray, and a covered front porch with a beadboard ceiling and ceiling fan give this 2026-built traditional real curb appeal before you ever step inside. The open floor plan flows across LVP flooring finished with crown molding, connecting the Living Room and Dining Area to a peninsula-style Kitchen that earns its keep: white shaker cabinets with matte black hardware, granite countertops, a stainless appliance suite including range, microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator, plus pendant lights over the peninsula and recessed lighting throughout. A dedicated Utility Room keeps laundry tucked away with its own LVP flooring. The Owner's Suite sits privately off the main hall, offering plush carpet, a ceiling fan, walk-in closet, and a private bath finished with a dual-sink granite vanity on white shaker cabinetry, matte black fixtures, a marble-tile tiled shower with black-framed glass door, and a separate soaking tub. Two additional carpeted Bedrooms share a Hall Bath with a granite vanity and tub-shower combo, both spaces carrying the same clean matte black fixture package. Out back, a covered concrete patio with a ceiling fan and painted tongue-and-groove ceiling overlooks a level, grassy yard backed by mature trees. The attached two-car garage with front-entry access rounds out a package that checks every box for a buyer ready to move in today.

Northwood Hills, located between North Main Street and I-20, is a residential and wooded Columbia neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and curving, tree-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the North Main Street corridor near I-20, where local storefronts and service counters set a steady, everyday rhythm. Brick facades, deep setbacks, and mature canopy trees give the blocks a quiet, established feel. Nearby green space and creekside pockets shape a outdoors-forward routine. For local culture, The Nickelodeon Theatre, Columbia Museum of Art, and The Whig anchor nights out beyond the neighborhood streets.
