A rare opportunity to own a stately and versatile home in the heart of Melrose Heights, one of Columbia’s most beloved historic neighborhoods. Thoughtfully designed across three distinct levels, this exceptional residence blends timeless character with flexible living space ideal for growing families, multi-generational living, or buyers seeking additional income potential. Inside, high ceilings, abundant natural light, and elegant living spaces create an atmosphere that feels both grand and inviting. The main level features a spacious living room with gas fireplace, elegant dining room, and expansive sunroom perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The kitchen is designed for everyday living complete with a breakfast area, eat-in island, smooth surface range, and abundant cabinetry. Rare for a historic home, the property also offers exceptional storage space throughout. A standout feature is the fully functional lower level, ideal for the children, an in-law suite or guest quarters, with its own private entrance, full kitchen, dining area, living room with fireplace, two bedrooms, full bath, laundry room, and covered patio. Each level includes two spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom, providing privacy and convenience throughout. Recent upgrades add peace of mind, including new roof, May of 26 and new HVAC in 2025. Families will appreciate the home’s location within highly sought after schools; Brennen Elementary, Crayton Middle and your choice of AC Flora or Dreher High School. Off street parking is another rare feature in historic neighborhoods. This home easily accommodates multiple drivers and guests. Beyond the home itself, Melrose Heights is known for its mature tree-lined streets, strong sense of community, updated park, splash pad, and recreation center. Within the neighborhood is Crave Artisan Cafe, Starbucks and the new Melrose Market. Residents enjoy access to Columbia’s Devine St dining, shopping district, Five Points, the University of South Carolina, the Main St, Vista and Bull St areas.
