Description

Welcome to the heart of Columbia! This charming home is the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and small-town charm. Featuring 3 spacious bedrooms, central air, and efficient natural gas heat, this home is move-in ready with updates you’ll love—an HVAC system less than 4 years old, a newer water heater, and a roof that’s been resealed within the last 2 years for peace of mind. In fact, the roof was rubbered just three months ago, and the air conditioning was serviced two months ago, ensuring everything is in top working order. Nestled on a quiet street in one of Columbia’s most desirable neighborhoods, this well-maintained home shines with pride of ownership and has been kept in excellent, clean condition. The best part? Step out back and discover your own private courtyard oasis—lush with plants, flowers, and plenty of charm. It’s the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee, unwind after a busy day, or host a cozy evening with friends. All of this, just minutes from shops, restaurants, and everything town living has to offer. If you’re looking for a home that’s both low-maintenance and full of character, this one’s for you!
