The charm and character start with the view from the street! Who doesn't want to spend their evenings on their rocking chair front porch? Welcome to historic Heathwood, one of the finest neighborhoods in Columbia. Renowned for its tree-lined streets, pristine parks, proximity to everything, and top-tier school zone (Brennen, Crayton, and A.C. Flora). This home, insulated from busier streets, is a premier offering within the community. The fully-fenced and beautifully landscaped backyard features a shed, swing set, and expansive patio space. The spacious living room is anchored by a cozy fireplace and leads to a formal dining room, creating an ideal flow for hosting gatherings. The kitchen is bright and recently updated with a shiplap island and granite countertops. An eat-in area overlooks a spacious keeping room. The main level also houses the primary suite, with a recently updated bathroom, generous closet space, and a private screened porch. A lower-level recreational room is a great playroom or man cave and has backyard access. The second level offers three large bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and exceptional walk in attic storage. This home is a perfect blend of stately historic elegance and modern comfort. Schedule your tour!
