INVESTORS! LOOK UP! Riverside area Cottage with Vintage Character & Modern Comforts. Welcome to 305 2nd Avenue- a sweet, storybook cottage tucked away in one of Columbia TN's most walkable and desirable neighborhoods. This 3-bedroom, 1-bath home blends the warmth and character of an older home with tasteful updates and easy living. Super versatile home with so much potential — great fit for downsizers wanting manageable living, investors, or anyone looking to get into the Riverside area at a great price! The extra flex space room upstairs offers options for an office, writers retreat, den or playroom (used as a fourth bedroom in the past). Step inside to find light-filled spaces with some fresh paint, new lighting, and charming details throughout. The semi-updated interior is move in ready with the updated exterior bringing truth to "don't judge a book by its cover" or "a true diamond in the rough". Enjoy peaceful mornings on the classic rocking chair front porch and breezy afternoons on the large back porch overlooking a spacious, flat yard—ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or future expansion. Newer HVAC and updated asphalt roof. Main street access and rear alley access provides options for a possible garage or extra parking. This location can’t be beat: walk to the Riverwalk Park (within site), Farmer’s Market, or the historic and bustling public square with shopping, restaurants and recreation. You’re only minutes from I-65 and US 31 making daily living or commuting a breeze. A rare opportunity to get into this desirable area in a great home with a lovely yard in an unbeatable location. Same owner since 2007. This home was last lived in by the owner's own mother. This is a VERY SPECIAL place, it's priced to sell, and its one that will not last long! Schedule your showing today.
