Offer deadline is Tuesday, January 20, at 6 pm! Welcome to this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath brick split-level home tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after Village of Hickory Ridge. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be impressed by the elegant flagstone walkway leading to the front door and the classic brick façade that gives this home timeless curb appeal. Inside, the freshly painted interior is bright, clean, and move-in ready. The heart of the home is the expanded gourmet kitchen and sun-filled breakfast room, thoughtfully added along the rear of the house to create a wonderful space for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen opens to the backyard and stone patio, making indoor-outdoor living effortless. The kitchen then overlooks the large sun-filled family room reaturing floor to ceiling windows, and adjoining a separate laundry room with an entire wall full of convenient built in storage space. The major systems have been updated for peace of mind, including a new roof, HVAC and hot water heater in 2024, along with previously replaced windows and siding, and a gas fireplace—a perfect focal point for cozy evenings. Note: When the gas fireplace was installed, the gas line was also run to the stove/oven area. The fully fenced rear yard isn't huge, and it backs to open space, trees, and a tot lot, offering beautiful views, the feeling of wide open space with the luxury of less yard to maintain, and then the rear patio provides a lovely setting for outdoor dining and relaxation. A two-car attached garage, spacious bedrooms, hardwood floors, and flexible lower-level living space complete the home. All of this is set in one of Columbia’s most desirable neighborhoods, close to trails, schools, shopping, and community amenities. With its combination of updates, location, and outdoor space, this home truly offers the best of Hickory Ridge living.
