Listing description

Nestled on one of the most desirable blocks of Chestnut Street, this charming 1930 Tudor Revival home is filled with the character and craftsmanship that today's buyers rarely find. From the grand staircase, arched doorways, original wood floors, and crystal-style glass doorknobs to the stunning stone wood-burning fireplace, every room tells a story. A perfect blend of historic charm with modern convenience. Over 3,000 square feet, efficient natural gas heat, updated kitchen featuring quartz countertops, tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. A spacious first-floor bonus room with a separate entrance offers endless possibilities as a home office, playroom, studio, hobby room, or guest space. Natural light pours throughout the home, while abundant closets, built-in storage, attic knee-wall storage, and a partially finished lower level with workshop provide room for everything. Outside, enjoy a private paver patio tucked alongside the home, a detached two-car garage, additional off-street parking, and a sparkling in-ground pool ready for summer gatherings. Topped with a beautiful slate roof and surrounded by other distinguished historic homes, this is a rare opportunity to own a home rich in character, charm, and timeless appeal. Ideally situated just blocks from Columbia's thriving downtown, offering convenient access to restaurants, craft breweries, local shops, and the Northwest River Trail.
