It features 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a basement with walk-out entrance. Originally built in 1923 and completely updated to modern style, this home has so much character, from the stained glass windows to the built in cabinets, along with a beautiful archway into the living room from the dining room. Furnace and air conditioner were replaced and upgraded in 2018, and a new hot water heater was installed in 2019. The main floor has original hardwood floors that were beautifully sanded and refinished.

You will not find a garage this size in town! The fenced-in backyard boasts mature trees and multiple garden beds. Enjoy the antique wood plank look tiled front porch on the swing. This neighborhood is very quiet and in the heart of Columbia and just minutes from anything in town. Walk to Metter Park for their free concert series or enjoy a cup of coffee on the patio at Cafe on the Abbey. This Columbia gem is walking distance to the library, city hall, elementary school, multiple parks, restaurants, bars and boutiques! Text Kim at (618-977-3219)
