Come and see this historic home in the heart of Columbia. You will love living steps away for everything that Columbian Downtown has to offer. You can enjoy the concerts in the park off from your front porch. You're a block away from the Columbia's longest paved walking trail to exercise or walk your dog. You will love entertaining or Barbecuing on the back patio. Come inside to a large living room and the main bedroom with plenty of room to relax. The kitchen has plenty of counter space to entertain. Upstairs you'll find two more roomy bedrooms and a half bath. The 1890 rock basement gives you plenty of storage.
