5200 Spring Branch Rd, Columbia, SC 29206

This is a Mid-Century Modern gem: a classic southern ranch house on a large lakefront lot in Forest Acres. The house has plenty of 1950s charm with its long low architecture, intact traditional floor plan, original broken-tile mosaic patio, distinctive horizontal and corner double-hung windows, spacious floored attic, and established landscape. Enjoy the privacy of the secluded backyard and the abundant wildlife of Spring Branch Pond - a "certified wildlife habitat" - from the 600-square-foot covered porch conveniently accessible for entertaining from both the kitchen and living room. The dock offers easy water entry for swimming and boating, and the lake is stocked for fishing. The house sits on 7/10 of an acre with mature azaleas, camellias, dogwoods, southern live oak, and savannah hollies, as well as fig, persimmon, and pear trees. The corner lot provides ample space for new garden design or home additions. The property also has a Hollywood connection: legendary film director Stanley "Singing in the Rain" Donen married movie actress Yvette Mimieux at the house in 1972.
