Summary:
Large and well-preserved 3x2 brick cottage just minutes North of downtown with fenced yard, WiFi, fully stocked kitchen, and everything else you need for a work or leisure trip to Columbia. Whether you are in town to see family at Fort Jackson, USC game-day, work trip, or just spending time with family and friends, we are happy to host you for a few days or a few months. Backyard is fully fenced with a grill and 50" TV comes equipped with Roku. We hope to host you!

The Space:
This beautifully preserved cottage features an inviting living room as soon as you enter the home. Two pullout sofas and two accent chairs allow you to socialize as a family or catch-up on Netflix with the 50" Roku TV that sits over the fireplace mantle. Note that unfortunately the fireplace is not functional.

Living room opens up into the dining room with farm table. The table is actually very special. The owner's grandfather runs a Christian rehabilitation center for men leaving prison or recovering from drug and alcohol addiction. One of the skills they teach the students is wood working, and the owner buys tables from the ministry. In the corner of the dining room is a desk and chair that provides a great work station.

The kitchen sits off the dining room near the back of the house, and is fully appointed with a refrigerator/freezer, stove/oven, and microwave. Kitchen comes fully stocked with pots, pans, cutlery, drinkware, etc. We also have a traditional drip coffee maker with coffee grounds.

Finally the kitchen leads back to the laundry room and back porch, which has a stackable washer and dryer.

As for bedrooms and bathrooms, there are three bedrooms, all organized around a central common space. Bedroom 1 has a King bed. Bedroom 2 has 2x Full beds, and Bedroom 3 has 1x Queen bed. Each room has a closet and blackout curtains.

There are two bathrooms in the home. One located off the living room and the other between Bedrooms 1 & 2. Both bathrooms have a tub/shower combo, toilet, sink, and mirror with drying hooks to hang your towels.
