This Italianate-style home is one of those homes you simply do not come across very often. Good luck finding another home with this much soul. Rich in history and architectural character, she has been lovingly restored to preserve all the magic, yet comfortable for modern living. The exterior façade was restored to its original historic appearance by noted Nashville architect Nick Dryden, and many of the home's original architectural details remain—including its beautiful arched windows, 14-foot ceilings, two wood-burning fireplaces, exposed brick wall, pecan-paneled room, and the craftsmanship and proportions that give a home of this era its unmistakable character and could only belong in a house with this kind of history. She also features a completely updated kitchen featuring craftsman, custom cabinetry and new high-end appliances.
And while historic homes are known for charm, this one offers something considerably harder to find: space and practicality. A basement garage provides parking, storage, a workout room, a wine room, or whatever you are needing, with an additional detached carport, screened-in room, and fenced large yard. The location is perfect for walking to eateries, venues, shopping, parades, First Fridays, and all the things that make Columbia such a sweet downtown. It is a place where you can spend mornings sipping coffee, evenings drinking wine, and simply watching the world turn from your front porch. It’ll feel like a Hallmark movie when you see all the trick-or-treaters on Halloween and all the families walking down to the parades and other events.
Above anything else, the history and personality of this house is what it’s all about! It is NOT a reproduction of an old home or a new house designed to look historic…She is the REAL thing, a home built in 1873, carefully brought back to life and ready for her next chapter. She’s an historic masterpiece, special in all the right ways. You will know this when you meet her.
