This home balances classic architectural character with modern enhancements designed for comfortable, sophisticated living. Warm heart pine floors extend throughout the main living areas, setting the tone for inviting formal and casual spaces. The living room, anchored by a fireplace, offers a welcoming setting for quiet evenings, while the formal dining room is well-suited for entertaining. An open-concept family room flows seamlessly into the updated kitchen and informal dining area, creating a natural gathering space for everyday living. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a private retreat, highlighted by elevated views of the Columbia skyline. The spa-inspired bath features heated floors, a programmable shower, heated towel rack, and a defogging mirror—bringing a sense of luxury to daily routines. Additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or workspace needs. The third level offers exceptional versatility, with a large third floor room, an additional bedroom and bath, and the option for expanded bedroom or office use. Outdoors, a walled brick courtyard with a fountain and raised garden beds creates a peaceful, low-maintenance setting for dining or relaxation. A distinctive home in one of Columbia’s most desirable in-town locations—offering proximity, character, and modern comfort in equal measure.
