Property Description

Welcome to your own private paradise. This in-town home, in one of Columbia's quietest little neighborhoods, is a dream for those who love to be surrounded by beauty! The mature gardens are not prim and proper...they are, by design, low maintenance. But let's start with the lowcountry cottage that belies its true size. The front porch opens to the heart of the home: living and dining rooms spread out before you; a delightful and well-appointed eat-in kitchen grounds the back of the home and looks out over the koi pond, and an adjoining sunroom opens to a treetop screened porch. A beautiful, blooming saucer magnolia wraps its arms around the porch and each spring the show is breathtaking! Upstairs are 3 ensuite bedrooms including an owners' suite which features a 17-ft high cathedral ceiling. On the lower level, you'll find plenty of storage, access to the large garage, a cozy den and a guest suite with another full bath...just perfect for guests, or teens who desire privacy, or for your home office. Yet another porch folds out of the den and is strategically placed near the stone Italian pizza oven and the gorgeous koi pond that invites you to sit and dream as you gaze at colorful, happy fish dancing among the irises and papyrus. Cross the stone bridge and the real beauty starts! This old fenced garden is quiet and peaceful and you can stroll between Camellias that are taller than you! Many are rare hybrids and they brighten every cold January with vibrant shows of pink, red and white for your tabletop. You'll also find a potting shed tucked among the hydrangeas. And then, there it is...an English greenhouse. It can host your parties, your literary escapism and is a fabulous place to listen to tunes when you just want to forget the stress of the day. But then, its best use is probably to grow your groceries (or exotics)!Alas, time is short, I need to remind you that this is close to downtown Columbia and Forest Acres. Great schools! The Forest Hils home has been completely remodeled in the past 5 years. Look for extensive molding, pegged hardwoods, encaustic tile, unique sinks, chandeliers and fixtures thru-out. Come tour this artist's home! It's a treasure!
