About this property

Luxury, Close to Nature & Everything in Columbia. Minutes walk or ride anywhere.

>> Sought-after Columbia location <<
Walk to riverwalk, breweries, restaurants, coffee shops, antique shops, bars, etc. The renovated historic home is in the middle of Columbia's attractions. Bc
Only a few minutes walk or dive to most everything in Columbia!

The freshly renovated home brings modern convenience to old-world charm. The home was first built around 1899 for families of workers in the textile mill across the river. In Columbia. Home has been tastefully updated and brought up to modern code. Fenced yard. The homes warmness and well thought out decor puts an ear-to-ear smile on everyone who steps foot in the door. Comfortably sleeps 4 with 2 bedrooms but does have two single ottoman pullouts (no linens provided), king 14" lugurious memory foam bed in master; queen 14" memory foam in guest bedroom, plus and a twin memory foam sleeper ottoman in guest room and living room. Linens provided for beds but not pullouts beds.

As you open the front door, a new knotty whitewashed accent wall greets you …..the wonderful discoveries are just beginning…..
Tall ceilings with new ceiling fans in each room. Experience the luxury of a bidet! Two bedrooms upstairs; kitchen, living room and eat in bar downstairs. Bathroom on each level.
When outside on the 400' deck looking skyward, you cannot see the top of the old massive trees….. trees that saw Sherman’s cannon balls flying overhead in the sky toward Columbia during the Civil war.
Home is designed for outdoor fun with a HUGE new deck and two covered porches. Deck extends the main living by 400 feet and stylishly wraps around a massive tree so big it would take two or three to stretch their arms around it. How about a competitive game of Corn hole? Just 2 blocks away ~20 miles of walking and biking paved trails await you along the crackling rivers racing by you….
Charming 120 yr old home nicely renovated to provide more amenities and comfort, with hardwoods throughout and Travertine tile in bathrooms.
Smart TVs with cable TV providing your channels. High speed Wifi provided. Built in USB ports are plentiful…..in walls, recliners and end tables.

The AREA: Within walking distance of many bars, bowling alley, restaurants in the revitalized River District. Two blocks from West Columbia Amphitheater and Riverwalk. House is steps from ~20 miles of walking and biking trails along the Saluda, Broad and Congaree rivers....a treasure so close by.. Bring your fishing rods, float tubes and bikes. Only minutes to most "anywhere Columbia" you could want to be.
One block away is a state-of-the art new children’s park.

As you enter:
A whitewashed knotty wood accent wall adorns the home and warmly invites into the comfortable living area– this wall sets the stage for the homes’ décor. Built in stereo system...just bring your Bluetooth and your playlist.
Sit at the new granite eat-in bar and watch a large TV while conversing with those in the kitchen.
Leather couches, smart TVs, along with fast internet and your favorite sports and normal channels make your stay almost as comfy as being at home. Built in USB charging station at the bar
New luxury leather sofa with multi-function power recliner positions as well as two power recliners, all with convenient USB ports. A sleeper ottoman pulls out into a twin sleeper.

Bedrooms:
Upstairs has the original just refinished 120 yr old hardwood floors. Both bedrooms are on the 2nd level. Both bedrooms share a bathroom equipped with a bidet with a heated bidet toilet seat…..you'll never want to sit on a cold toilet seat again!
- Master bedroom has a new king 14in luxury memory foam mattress with a whitewashed headboard, a 42in smart wall mounted TV. A comfortable recliner awaits you in your master so you can get away (or sleep!) from the excitement downstairs. Do you need and an adjustable bed for a better night’s sleep for all? A memory foam wedge pillow, stored in closet, is available if desired to simulate an adjustable bed for reduced snoring and waking up refreshed.
- 2nd bedroom has a new queen 14in luxury memory foam mattress and also has a sleeper ottoman that folds out to a twin memory foam comfy sleeper.

Bathrooms: gorgeous Italian Travertine floor tile……
- Upstairs bathroom: features a heated bidet toilet seat with dual warming jets and dryer…..a treat to experience, and a pedestal sink. Bathroom serves both bedrooms with “jack and jill” entrance

The covered back porch connects to a 400 sq foot deck that stretches onward and wraps majestically around huge old growth magnolia tree. Decorative white party lights drape along the top of the large deck and create a fun and memorable experience and is ideal for an outdoor party, relaxing, picnics, etc. The back deck is connected to the house with no steps involved…just walk out . A corn hole game is available at the home – set it up on the spacious deck (yes deck's really that big!) or in the grass outside. A covered front porch greets you as you step up few steps to enter the home. Fence yard.

Close to excellent restaurants and walking trail
The inside of the home was clean and comfortable. It was an extremely quick walk to get to bars and restaurants. There was a walking trail along the river within ~ 3 short blocks. I don't recommend that trail for biking. This is a neighborhood in the midst of a revival, so there is inconsistency in the maintenance levels from one home to the next. There was road construction during my stay, so I wasn't able to enjoy the porches, but they were attractive. The heated seat / bidet toilet was a great surprise. Brian was a great host.

Fantastic Christmas in Carolina
We had such a good experience at this property and with Brian. We needed a place to gather for the holidays because our family has been in a hotel the last 6 months while their home is being repaired from flooding. Having a comfy homey space to spend time with everyone during the holidays was a true gift. We happened to be visiting during the unusual cold snap and the pipes froze overnight on Christmas Eve. When we reached out, Brian was incredibly responsive and went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of with hot running water within a few hours. It may sound dramatic but it really was a Christmas miracles and my whole family was so grateful! Great property run by great owners!
