Listing description

Opportunities like this don't come around often! Situated on a single deed, this unique property includes two homes, offering incredible flexibility for homeowners, investors, or anyone looking for a little extra space. One home has been recently renovated and is move-in ready, while the second is ready for your vision and personal updates.

The possibilities are endless. Outside, both homes share a fenced backyard, a spacious rear deck, and paved off-street parking, creating functional outdoor space that's perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Whether you're looking for a home with future income potential, a renovation project with a place to live while you work, or a one-of-a-kind property that offers flexibility for years to come, this Columbia property is one you won't want to miss.
