A welcoming foyer with updated statement lighting and rich hardwood flooring sets the tone from the moment you enter. The spacious living room is filled with natural light and overlooks the foyer and cascading staircase, creating an impressive sense of openness and architectural charm. Newer hardwood flooring continues throughout the home, with the exception of the stairs, providing a cohesive and polished appearance across all three levels. Updated paint, newer lighting fixtures, crown molding, and thoughtfully selected finishes add a refined touch throughout the interior.

The family room provides an additional spacious and inviting living area enhanced by rich hardwood flooring, recessed lighting, and a charming wood-burning fireplace with a classic brick surround and mantel. This flexible space is ideal for relaxing, movie nights, entertaining guests, or creating a comfortable home office or recreation area. French doors lead directly from the family room to the private brick-paver patio, extending the living space outdoors. Tucked beneath the expansive deck, the patio offers a covered outdoor retreat overlooking the pristine backyard and wooded setting. Whether used for shaded seating, grilling, quiet relaxation, or entertaining, this private patio creates a wonderful connection between the interior living spaces and the natural surroundings. The rear yard and mature trees provide a sense of privacy and tranquility, making the outdoor spaces feel like a true extension of the home. The recently updated bathrooms offer a fresh, modern feel with tasteful finishes, further enhancing the home’s move-in-ready appeal. A private one-car garage bay provides secure parking and storage, while the concrete driveway offers additional off-street parking for added convenience. Enjoy the best of Columbia living with fantastic shopping, restaurants, recreational parks, and trails just minutes away.
