7611 Stephen Street is the kind of home that makes first-time buyers exhale & investors take notes. Single-level, all-brick, no HOA, and sitting on nearly half an acre on a quiet tree-lined street in Columbia, it delivers far more than the price suggests.The yard alone is worth the visit. Flat, fully fenced, and stretching nearly half an acre of usable outdoor space framed by mature trees, it's the kind of lot most buyers have to give up to stay in budget. A wood deck off the back sets the stage for morning coffee, evening cookouts, and everything in between.Inside, the home has been stripped down and rebuilt the right way. Popcorn ceilings removed, every room freshly painted, and new LVP flooring runs throughout the main living areas and primary bedroom. New carpet in the additional bedrooms. Brand new shower in the primary bath. New energy efficient windows flood every room with natural light. New front door with a triple locking system, new tankless water heater, and all new water lines. The updates here aren't just cosmetic, they're comprehensive, and they show.The layout is comfortable and intuitive, with a flex space that adapts to whatever you need most. A 4th bedroom, a dedicated home office, a playroom. It has a closet, so the option is yours.Minutes from Fort Jackson, the VA, major highways, and some of Columbia's best restaurants. If you've been waiting for a move-in ready home where the work is genuinely done, this is it. Disclaimer: CMLS has not reviewed and, therefore, does not endorse vendors who may appear in listings.
