A true mid-century modern Gem, located on a large, private lot in Columbia, where clean lines, warm wood, and exposed brick come together in a home built with real architectural intent. Light floods the house from every direction: a wall of windows in the living room, skylights overhead, and wood-framed clerestory openings that carry daylight from room to room. The foyer opens to gleaming hardwood floors and a dramatic two-sided brick chimney wall that anchors the main level. The updated kitchen is the showstopper: Wood Shaker cabinetry, granite counters, a stainless pro-style gas rangetop under a chimney hood, double wall oven, GE Monogram side-by-side refrigerator, and a long run of windows over the sink. The sun-drenched, skylit breakfast area opens through French doors to the home's hidden gem: a private, brick-walled courtyard beneath a vine-draped pergola. With a stone-edged pond and garden beds, it's an outdoor room for morning coffee, dinner under the lights, or quiet weekends tucked away from the world. The lower level adds flexible living space with a second kitchenette. Beyond the courtyard is a huge, level, fenced backyard framed by towering evergreens, along with landscaped front gardens, a stone walkway, and an attached oversized garage. HVAC was replaced in 2024, and the water heater is also new. Offered at $670,000, this home is exceptional value for this much character, light, and land in Columbia. Bring your vision and your paint palette.
