    Turn-key and full of character, 705 Independence is a charming bungalow with thoughtful updates and inviting indoor and outdoor spaces. The living room features arched doorways, built-in cabinetry, and a cozy window seat. The kitchen includes butcher block countertops, open shelving, and practical storage and workspace. Refinished hardwood floors run throughout the home. Two bedrooms are located on the main floor, with a third bedroom in the freshly painted upstairs loft. The home also features an updated screened-in porch with a ceiling fan, providing a comfortable outdoor living space during the warmer months. The recently rebuilt back deck includes a pergola covered by a mature wisteria vine with abundant spring flowers. The large, fenced backyard includes raised garden beds, outdoor storage, and established fruit and native trees and shrubs, including serviceberry, pawpaw, and pear. Conveniently located near the Columbia Farmers Market and grocery stores, with downtown Columbia and the University of Missouri campus within biking distance.
    What the owner loves about this home
    We love the character and charm of this home. It boasts a legacy of love, with generations of homeowners making their own thoughtful, loving marks on the space like the built-in cabinets, open kitchen shelving, the closet shelving, established gardens, new porches, and even the sanctuary of the shower. The large lot gives plant lovers, gardeners, dogs, or anyone who simply appreciates a little breathing room the space to run, play, grow, and enjoy the outdoors without feeling right on top of the neighbors. We’ve also loved being part of a neighborhood full of caring, kind, and artistic people. And being so close to the heart of Columbia is a real blessing. It is awesome to bike to campus, First Fridays, or simply downtown for a cup of coffee.
