Designed by Lafaye and Lafaye Architects and built in 1925, the floor plan of this beautifully designed 4, 200 square foot home remains very authentic almost 100 years after its completion. The current owners are just the second family to own the home. The lot is almost 1 acre in size with mature landscaping and stately trees that provide a beautiful setting. Located barely a mile from the famed “Horseshoe” at the University of South Carolina, this property offers a rare opportunity in the Columbia market to return a great home with very big rooms to its former splendor. The first and second floors feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, and big windows that allow plentiful natural light. Upon entering through the front door, you’ll find a very generous entry hall (app. 10’ x 18’) flanked by a formal dining room (app. 16’ x 18’) and formal living room (app. 16' x 25’), all featuring heavy crown molding and arched openings and windows. Just off the dining room and down a step is a solarium (app. 13’ x 16’) with a built-in fountain, lots of arched windows, and French doors leading to the front yard. In the formal living room, there are sets of French doors on both sides of the fireplace that lead to a huge enclosed porch (app. 13’ x 31’) with a tile floor. Behind the living room and on the back of the house is an office (app. 11’ x 16’) with built-in bookcases and cabinets. Completing the first floor is a spacious kitchen (app. 18' x 20') and 2 half baths. The switchback staircase to the second floor is beyond the entry hall. The second floor features 4 large bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a nursery or office. A former detached 2-car garage in the back yard has more than 900 square feet. The main level has been converted to office space, and there is a 1-bedroom efficiency apartment above it.
