Welcome to this inviting Melrose Heights residence, where timeless character meets modern updates. A picturesque English garden sets the stage, best enjoyed from the expansive screened-in porch - a perfect outdoor living space for relaxing or entertaining. Inside, the primary bedroom suite is conveniently located on the main level, while the upstairs offers two additional bedrooms and an updated hall bathroom. The kitchen has been beautifully renovated with white quartz countertops, blending style and function. Downstairs, refinished hardwood floors flow throughout the spacious living and dining rooms, complemented by upscale plantation shutters that add both elegance and privacy. Nestled on a quiet street, this home provides a peaceful retreat yet remains close to everything - local shops, restaurants, downtown Columbia, USC, and major interstates are all just minutes away.
