513 Locust St

Historic character with two antique fireplaces, a fully updated kitchen and bath, and unbeatable curb appeal. All in the heart of Columbia. Some buildings you just don't forget, and this is one of them. 513 Locust is a striking historic brick rowhome with a mansard roof, arched dormer windows, deep green shutters, and blooming window boxes lining the front. Crowning it all is a landmark clock face flanked by hand-carved winged dragons above the entrance, the kind of detail you simply cannot find in new construction. Timeless curb appeal with a personality all its own. Step inside Apartment 2 and the character is immediate. This 2-bedroom spread is full of the kind of original detail that gives a home real soul: two stunning antique marble mantels with ornate cast iron fireplace inserts, arched built-in display shelving with cabinetry, tall trimmed windows, and warm original hardwood floors running throughout. It lives like a piece of Columbia history, updated for how you actually want to live today. The kitchen brings the modern. Fully renovated with crisp white shaker cabinetry, granite counters, a sleek gooseneck faucet, full appliance package including range, dishwasher, and refrigerator, and durable luxury vinyl plank flooring. Clean, bright, and move-in ready. The full bath is just as fresh, with a new vanity, framed mirror, modern lighting, tile floor, and a glass-door step-in shower. Both generous bedrooms get great natural light, and you get private access to a covered porch, the perfect spot for morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day. Comfort is covered both ways: efficient ductless mini-split cooling plus classic radiator heat throughout. You're in the heart of walkable, revitalizing Columbia, minutes from the Susquehanna riverfront, local shops and restaurants, with quick Route 30 access to Lancaster or York. Two bedrooms, two historic fireplaces, an updated kitchen and bath, original hardwoods, and standout curb appeal. Character like this does not come along often. Schedule your showing today.
