5133 Furman Ave, Columbia, SC 29206

**Under Contract** A rare opportunity property in the "College Streets" section of Forest Acres. Situated on a unique half-acre lot with an elevated view above Furman Avenue and great privacy, the new owner will have multiple options - from moderate updating, to renovation/add-on, to demo and build new. Included with your purchase is a full set of professionally developed renovation/add-on plans that include a master suite, large kitchen-family room and covered outside patio with fireplace. Across the street is a great example of how the neighborhood is welcoming the new alongside the traditional. The home is being sold "as-is," with a 2017 inspection report is available on site for review. The 1419 sq. ft. brick bungalow includes 2/3 BR, 1BA, a spacious LR with wood burning FP and a formal DR. The home features oak hardwood floors that are in great condition and a large floored attic that offers great storage space. The detached, 768 sq. ft. brick garage is loaded with potential. It presently includes a large corner storage room and partially floored upper level but is a man-cave-in-waiting that is already wired for satellite-TV. The covered and lighted potting area along the right side of the garage is a gardener's dream that doubles as yard equipment/tool storage. It's also great for keeping firewood dry! With a gentle rear-to-front slope, the lot is one of the few in the neighborhood with a wonderful elevation. It is mature, with a beautiful live oak, shrubs and a wide variety of perennials (thank you Mrs. Hubbard) that are downright exciting to watch pop up each Spring. The back yard is gated and fenced, providing plenty of privacy and space for your family/pets to enjoy. The property is very easy to maintain and includes a digitally-controlled sprinkler system. Without question, this block and lot is one of the very nicest in the area. It is also one of the most convenient. Just off Winthrop Avenue, you are only three blocks from Forest Drive via Clemson Road, and about the same distance to Trenholm via Coker. You're a two-block walk to Crayton and a very short drive to Satchelford or Flora. Even lunch breaks at home become possible. Available immediately and shown by appointment only.
