Highly desirable and sought after, this beautifully maintained home in the Heritage Place neighborhood is perfectly situated just five minutes from Fort Jackson, the VA Hospital, and the USC Medical School — and nestled just outside the gates of Hammond School, making it an ideal choice for families who value access to one of Columbia's most prestigious private schools. The interior features an inviting open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, a fireplace-lit great room, and a formal dining area. The kitchen is equipped with a center island and a sleek mix of black and stainless appliances. A standout feature is the paid-off solar panel system — only a few years old — which has dramatically reduced energy costs to an average electric bill of just $40 per month. The floor plan includes a primary suite with a soaking tub and walk-in closet, plus a large bonus room over the garage perfect for a home office or media room. Outside, the fully fenced backyard is a private retreat with a tiered deck, pergola, palm trees, and a play area. Complete with functional upgrades including premium gutters, a newer water heater, and a termite bond, this home perfectly blends modern efficiency with Southern charm.
