Located in the heart of Downtown Columbia, just steps from the Columbia Historic District in Lancaster County, this mixed-use property presents a prime investment opportunity. The building features four residential units along with a street-level storefront, offering diverse income potential in a highly visible downtown location. The residential units have been renovated with modern kitchens, updated bathrooms, new flooring, and clean, neutral finishes throughout — creating a turn-key opportunity for the next owner. The storefront space remains in its existing condition, offering flexibility for customization or repositioning depending on investment strategy. A rare highlight of this property is the extensive off-street parking, featuring six dedicated parking spaces in addition to a detached three-car garage — a significant advantage in a downtown setting. Separate utilities across units help reduce owner expenses and improve operational efficiency. With strong rental demand in Columbia and multiple income streams, this property offers stability, flexibility, and long-term upside in a growing Lancaster County market.
