You'll love this beautiful home in a truly wonderful SW Columbia neighborhood! This is a no-smoking/no-pet home and it has been immaculately maintained. It really is move-in ready! A spacious covered front porch welcomes you. The 24' x 24' 2-car garage has plenty of room for two vehicles with abundant additional space. The house faces west and is nicely shaded in the summer. Great winter sun exposure ensures snow/ice don't linger on the driveway/sidewalks. Enjoy morning shade and relaxing, sun-free evenings on the 10' x 22' east-facing deck or patio (w/stairs to the deck). The yard includes many trees and ornamentals as well as a 23' x 33' vegetable garden. Ample room remains for the children's play area. Enjoy the spacious 9' ceilings on the 1st floor. The neutral decor offers great customizing options. All ceilings and most walls have the knockdown "executive" finish. Wall hangings have been removed and holes filled/painted. The wood trim, window sashes and 6-panel wood doors are nicely stained. If you prefer painted trim, that's an option. Top-down/bottom-up cellular blinds in the living and dining rooms offer great flexibility. There are ceiling fans throughout the house, two with remote control). The 7-day programmable thermostat (4 daily cycles) is a great energy saver. You'll enjoy static-free winters thanks to a furnace-mounted humidifier. The kitchen features custom oak cabinets with under-cabinet lighting and Corian countertops. An extended countertop over the peninsula is great for raised seating. Spot-lighting over the sink and main food preparation area is a bonus. The kitchen is close to the garage so unloading groceries a breeze! An under-counter, 2-stage filter supplies high-quality water to an auxiliary faucet at the kitchen sink and to the refrigerator. The GE smooth-top range and over-the-range microwave make a great combination. You'll enjoy the brand new, ultra-quiet dishwasher and the powerful sound-insulated food disposal. The walk-in pantry has ample shelf space. The dinette includes French doors to the deck. The formal dining room is beside the kitchen for easy access. The 14’ x 26' living room is wired for surround sound and features a gas fireplace (w/blower). A convenient half-bath and coat closet complete the 1st floor. The upstairs offers a split floor plan. All bedrooms feature walk-in closets. The master suite includes two large walk-in closets. The master bath features dual sinks and an ample double-wide linen closet - a great feature not found in many homes. The master suite and 2nd bedroom include light-blocking cellular blinds. The 3rd bedroom (above the garage) is very large and includes two dormers, each with a window seat w/storage. The windows have mini-blinds. This walk-in closet is huge! The 4th bedroom is large and would make a great nursery and features concealed-slot mini-blinds. You'll enjoy the centrally-located 2nd floor laundry. Additionally, there is a very useful closet just down the hall. The unfinished walkout basement includes interior access to a bonus 24' x 24' shop/storm shelter located under the main-level garage. It includes a single-wide overhead garage door (w/opener) to the back yard. Blueprints for a finished basement include a 14’ x 26’ recreation/family room w/sliding door access (existing) to the patio. The plans also include a large bedroom with walk-in closet and full bathroom (already stubbed). There’s plenty of additional basement space for storage. Attic insulation has been upgraded to R-49+ for lower heating/cooling costs. Plus, a powered attic fan keeps the attic temperature much lower during the summer, resulting in lower cooling costs. An Energy Star water heater was installed June, 2015. A large-capacity water softener provides luxurious soft water. The house has been stubbed for a whole-house vacuum; just add the vacuum unit. The refrigerator, washer and dryer are all very nice and are negotiable.
