About this home
New Price of $550,000 and open Saturday from 12-2. Welcome to 826 Rickenbaker Road, a classic brick home in the heart of Lake Katherine, where original character and thoughtful updates come together in a way that feels both polished and easy to live in. From the moment you step inside, natural light, original hardwood floors, fresh paint, and designer lighting create a warm, collected feel that carries throughout the home. The floor plan opens into an expansive great room that truly sets this home apart. Soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, custom built ins, and a wet bar give the space both character and presence, while French doors draw you toward the backyard beyond. It is a room designed for real life, equally suited for quiet evenings at home or a house full of friends on the weekends. The kitchen has been thoughtfully refreshed with granite countertops and new tile flooring, giving it a clean, updated feel while still fitting naturally with the character of the home. Three bedrooms and two baths is a comfortable, functional layout, including an updated primary bath with a large tiled shower. Outside, a brand new deck overlooks the large, fully fenced backyard, creating an easy extension of the living space and plenty of room for grilling, entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying a little privacy at the end of the day. What makes 826 Rickenbaker special is the balance. It has the warmth and charm buyers love about Lake Katherine, paired with fresh finishes and thoughtful updates that make it completely move in ready. Just minutes from Cross Hill Market, neighborhood dining and shopping, downtown Columbia, and zoned for Brennen Elementary, Crayton Middle, and A. C. Flora High School. Disclaimer: CMLS has not reviewed and, therefore, does not endorse vendors who may appear in listings.
Cross Hill, located between Five Points and Shandon, is a residential and historic Columbia neighborhood with tree-lined streets and early-20th-century homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Five Points junction at Harden Street and Saluda Avenue, where patios, indie storefronts, and late-night eateries set the street-level tempo. Community pillars nearby include the Nickelodeon Theatre, the Township Auditorium, and the Columbia Museum of Art. Brick bungalows and classic cottages sit behind deep porches and mature canopies, with sidewalks that link to pocket greenspaces. The daily rhythm leans toward walkable errands, coffee stops, and campus-adjacent culture without losing a quiet, lived-in feel.
