Description

BACK ON MARKET! BUYERS COULDN'T CLOSE! MULTIPLE OFFERS WERE ORIGINALLY RECEIVED! A perfect cottage for living or investment! This home is located near the Columbia Historic District but it has none of the restrictions that being included would require. This property has undergone a cosmetic and partial remodel which includes new paint, 6 year old roof, new floor covering, new HVAC system, some updated electrical, new fixtures and exterior landscaping. There is a large unfinished area in the basement which would be a perfect hobby room, recreation room or workshop. The side patio is very private and an ideal place to relax. Near shopping, hospital, walking, parks and all public town amenities. This property is vacant, extra clean, move in ready and priced to sell! This property has been owned by the same person for over 27 years as an income producing investment property. This place looks beautiful and should be easy to lease.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from December 19, 2023

    "Great historical neighborhood with very friendly folks! There are several “neighborhood watch”’organizations and several Facebook groups who discuss safety measures, odd occurrences, weather updates, lost/found pets, etc. Columbia is mostly a safe area, but like most cities, there are a few parts of town that I would not walk down, much less drive down. Police are always patrolling & being cautious of potential threats, and are quick to respond to danger!"

    "very active neighborhood with a community page on the internet and community yard sales. Kids and adults always walking around. lots of renal houses kinda dragging the whole city down, imo. High rental costs compared to purchase costs and wages that don't increase. Just people trying to squeeze as much money out of others so they can live in mansions and take advantage of people. "
