1223 Union St, Columbia, SC 29201

This elegant brick bungalow was built in 1937 shortly after the creation of the Earlewood neighborhood. This house features some beautifully detailed brick work on both the chimney and arched entryway. The house features 3 large bedrooms with a central heater hallway, once home to a stove that heated the entire house. Heat to each room was controlled by transom windows that would have been opened and shut to allow for heat to enter. The large living room and dining room are separated by a double doorway creating an open feel without losing practical use of space. Adjacent to the living room is a screen in porch where you can enjoy the breeze and catch a glimpse of Earlewood park while drinking your morning coffee or a refreshing sweet tea. The kitchen features high comfortable countertops with a view of the boxwood hedge and seasonal flower beds. The back entry way easily holds a washer/dryer, folding table and a built in cabinet with coffee nook. Peering through the back door, you catch a glimpse of the terraced yard that is intricately landscaped and holds a refreshing swimming pool in its highest level. Overlooking the pool is an elevated cabana with a large covered porch and 100 sq ft of heated/Cooled space that can be used as a workshop or backyard getaway.
