There are newly refinished hardwood floors in the living room, the two downstairs bedrooms, and the alcove. The 525-square-foot second level could be a large third bedroom, a sitting/media room, or a quiet office getaway. This second story has distinctive heart pine flooring and a dedicated bathroom. The unit is freshly painted throughout. 1501 Fairview is the larger of the two units in this brick bungalow built as a dual-family residence in the 1930s. It is located in Melrose Heights, one of Columbia's most historic and desirable neighborhoods. 1501 Fairview sits directly across the street from Melrose Park. The duplex has plenty of 1930s charm with its high-pitched roof, interior detailing, hardwood floors, and landscaped setting. It is set back from the street, nestled in a small garden surrounded by a picket fence. 1501 Fairview has a sizeable front porch, recessed behind a prominent set of brick arches. A large back yard is fenced for privacy and presents a wonderful opportunity for an interested gardener. The neighborhood is protected as an Architectural Conservation District by the City of Columbia. Melrose Heights is conveniently accessible to the Devine Street shopping area, downtown, the USC campus, Fort Jackson, Trader Joe's, Trenholm Plaza, and Whole Foods and the Cross Hill shopping center.
