Built in 1896, this charming Colonial-style townhouse offers a wonderful combination of historic character, beautiful craftsmanship, and comfortable living spaces. Throughout the home, hardwood floors are complemented by broad baseboards, and detailed woodwork. The light-filled living room is warm and welcoming, with beautiful hardwood floors and a clean, neutral color palette. A graceful archway leads into the dining room, creating an easy flow between the two spaces and providing plenty of room for dinners or holiday gatherings. The spacious kitchen is light and spacious, with ample cabinetry, generous countertop space, and clean, contemporary tilework. There’s even room for a kitchen table or island, allowing you to configure the space to suit your needs. Just off the kitchen, a convenient laundry room and mudroom lead to the private covered back deck. Sliding doors open onto this peaceful outdoor space overlooking the garden, creating a cozy, quiet space for sipping that first cup of morning coffee. Upstairs, one bedroom features warm hardwood flooring, while a versatile bonus room offers endless possibilities as an additional bedroom, playroom, home office, or hobby space. A full bathroom with a tub-and-shower combination completes the second floor. The third floor offers a spacious second bedroom, providing additional privacy and flexibility. An unfinished basement provides storage, while a detached garage and one parking space add the convenience of off-street parking and additional storage. The location is another highlight. Coffee shops, restaurants, and Columbia’s wonderful collection of antique shops along the Susquehanna are all within walking distance, making it easy to enjoy the character and charm of this river town. This unique home on Union Street offers historic charm and modern conveniences, with plenty of room to make it your own.
