Property Description

Looking for a home with character, space, and the freedom to make it your own? This classic brick ranch sits on over half an acre just outside the Columbia city limits, offering no HOA, room for chickens, and endless possibilities. Conveniently located just off Leesburg Road, you'll enjoy quick access to Fort Jackson, downtown Columbia, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences. Inside, the 1,688-square-foot floor plan offers exceptional flexibility with multiple living spaces, including a spacious family room, formal dining room, eat-in kitchen, and a bright sunroom filled with natural light. Several rooms have been freshly painted, creating a fresh, welcoming feel while leaving plenty of opportunity to add your own style over time. Original hardwood floors add warmth and timeless charm throughout much of the home, and with solid bones and a versatile layout, this is a home you can truly make your own. Step outside to a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to garden, entertain, let pets roam, or simply enjoy the outdoors. The trampoline and play fort can remain, making it easy to settle in and start enjoying the space right away. A covered carport, ample driveway parking, attached utility room, and spacious workshop provide outstanding storage and room for hobbies or projects. Additional updates include new air ducts installed in 2024 and a newer dishwasher. Zoned for Brennen Elementary, Crayton Middle, and A.C. Flora High School, this property offers the perfect combination of location, flexibility, and value. Whether you're searching for your first home, more room to spread out, or a property with the freedom that's becoming harder to find, this one is full of potential. Ask about the $15,000 closing cost assistance (with preferred lender if buyer is eligible). Disclaimer: CMLS has not reviewed and, therefore, does not endorse vendors who may appear in listings.
