Guests can enjoy walking to local coffee or wine shops, visiting Elmwood Park, or just taking in the historic and unique architecture that makes this neighborhood such special part of the capital city. There is always something to do and its just a short drive to Riverbanks Zoo, Segra Park, Township Auditorium, and all of the Gamecocks sporting arenas!
The home has enough space for two vehicles in the driveway and there is free street parking but street parking is first come first serve. Guests are greeted by a newly landscaped yard and a charming entrance which leads to the living room. Off of the living room sits a fully stocked kitchen and breakfast nook with seating for four.
This home has 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. The master bedroom sits in the back of the home with large windows overlooking the sunroom. The two guest bedrooms sit adjacent to each other and share the half bathroom in a Jack and Jill style layout. The main bathroom is a shared bathroom off of the hallway and also has a full size washer/dryer set.
Leading into the sunroom, guests will pass through the game room which offers up nostalgic games such as golden tee, shuffleboard, and foosball. There is also a dedicated work space with a desk and lamp.
The completely renovated sunroom is the star of the show overlooking the newly landscaped back yard with a firepit surrounded by a modern privacy fence. There is a relaxing seating area as well as a dining table with seating for 6. The sunroom does have a separate heating/cooling system from the home so this space can be enjoyed year-round.
