About this property

Rivers Edge: Spacious, Riverwalk, USC, Ft Jackson

>> Sought-after Columbia location <<
Walk to riverwalk, breweries, restaurants, coffee shops, antique shops, bars, etc.
Only steps to extensive paved Riverwalk trail system that provides ~20 miles of trails along 3 Columbia rivers.
The house has been masterfully remodeled by repurposing items from the original 120-year-old home...
The open floor plan will delight. 400 sq ft deck off the back porch is massive.
Parking in front and rear for many vehicles.

DETAILS:
The tastefully renovated historic home is in the middle of Columbia's attractions, only a few minutes walk or drive to most everything in Columbia! The home was first built around 1899 for families of workers in the textile mill across the river. The home has been magnificently updated and brought up to modern code. The home’s warmness and well thought out décor puts an ear-to-ear smile on everyone who steps foot in the door; modern convenience meets old-world charm.

You are only steps away from the miles & miles of paved Columbia Riverwalk walking, tubing and biking trails - enjoy nature and the crackling river racing by you…. Tubing and kayak trips originate and end 2 blocks from the house.

House comfortably sleeps 6 with three bedrooms but also has a pullout futon. Linens are provided for beds but not futon. New 14" memory foam luxurious mattresses: Three separate bedrooms: king and two queen beds. Futon in living room room. Charming 120-year-old home is nicely renovated to provide more amenities and comfort, with hardwoods throughout and Travertine tile in bathrooms. Smart TVs with cable TV provide your channels. High-speed Wi-Fi is provided. Built-in USB ports are plentiful – in the walls, recliners, and end tables. Two bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs; kitchen, living room, dining room and eat-in bar downstairs. Full bathroom on each level.

As you ENTER a stunning sight awaits you......accent walls greet you and warmly invite you into the comfortable living area. Tall ceilings with new ceiling fans in all rooms. These accent walls set the stage for the home’s décor….the wonderful discoveries are just beginning. Sit at the new granite eat-in bar and watch a large TV while conversing with those in the kitchen. Leather couches, smart TVs, along with fast internet and your favorite sports and normal channels make your stay almost as comfy as being at home. A Built-in USB charging station and a wireless phone charger are the bar. New luxury power leather sofa as well as two power leather recliners with convenient USB ports.

The area saw Sherman’s cannon balls flying overhead in the sky toward Columbia during the Civil War. The home is designed for outdoor fun with a HUGE new deck and a covered porch. Deck extends the main living by 400 feet. How about a competitive game of Corn hole?

THE AREA: Within walking distance of many bars, bowling alley, restaurants in the revitalized River District. One block from West Columbia Amphitheater and Riverwalk. House is steps from ~20 miles of paved walking and biking trails along the Saluda, Broad and Congaree rivers....a treasure so close by.. Bring your fishing rods, float tubes and bikes. Only minutes to most anywhere in Columbia you could want to be. One block away is a state-of-the art new children’s park.

BEDROOMS: Upstairs boast original 120 yr old refinished hardwood floors. Two bedrooms are on the 2nd level. One upper bedroom has a new king 14in luxury memory foam mattress. and a 42in smart wall mounted TV. A comfortable recliner awaits you in your master so you can get away (or sleep!) from the excitement downstairs. 2nd upper bedroom has a new queen 14in luxury memory foam mattress.
The downstairs bedroom (also like a master) has a new 14" memory foam mattress and has a dedicated full bathroom.

BATHROOMs: Three bathrooms feature rich Italian Travertine floor tile with new modern fixtures. Upstairs is a full bathroom with a tub/shower and dual vanity. Downstairs has two bathrooms.... master bathroom has tub/shower. Half bath is conveniently located near living area. Hair dryer, ample towels, hand towels wash cloths, iron and washer and dryer are provided.

KITCHEN: Shiny new stainless-steel kitchen appliances include a new microwave, stove and fridge with ice maker. A fully stocked kitchen with pots, utensils, glasses (yes wine glasses too!), coffee mugs, wine openers, pitchers, spatulas, spice rack, blender, colander, plates, bowls, etc will make FOOD and beverages the center of your gathering. A Keurig coffee pot awaits you-- be sure to bring your favorite K-cups. Bright kitchen with recessed lighting and pendent lights above the granite eat-in bar. An outdoor charcoal grill and grilling utensils are provided.

OUTDOORs: The back has a 400 sq foot deck that stretches onward. Decorative white festive lights drape along the top of the large deck and create a fun and memorable experience and is ideal for an outdoor gathering, relaxing, picnics, etc. A covered front porch greets you as you walk with no steps into the home. A cornhole set is available for the challenge and the huge deck is the perfect place to set it up for hours of fun. Pet friendly with a fully fenced private backyard.

PARKING: Bring you cars, boats or RVs as there is ample space for you and your guest. Parking is available in front and rear oh house and will accommodate boat parking and several cars, RV, etc. Parking at rear of home is provided by a private asphalt-like lot accommodating 2 cars.
If you love the outdoors and nature, you will be at home here.

All this is yours to enjoy!!!!

Excellent Rental

Brian was a super helpful host and the accommodations were top-notch. The home renovations are beautiful and we really couldn't have asked for more from this rental. We really appreciated the outdoor entertaining space. Thanks Brian!

Amazing build as advertised, good for big group

Great property they did a wonderful job with the Renos Deck was as advertised albeit far less private than expected Really no major issues aside from all of the fire alarms and smoke detectors going off twice in the middle of night due to a power surge or something maybe a ghost idk lol but the only way to get the damn things to stop was to weirdly detach two of the alarms on the main floor - and maybe more constructive feedback most homes seems to have screened in and covered porches both for safety and usability the back deck was dope but was super exposed and felt intrusive Again amazing build great Reno love seeing spots like these coming up in west cola and mind y’all I was staying for grad school interviews and other errands of the such so think a bigger group would def enjoy but screen in those porches haha Ideal group would be for a football game basically dudes I would not feel totally comfortable with our kids my wife my sister or mother being there tbh I mean not trying to take shots it’s just every single other structure incl the abandoned ones had barred windows and closed porches I’m saying I’m cool with it but hey if you’re trying to impress your Yankee Doodle in-laws from summit nj ain’t gonna cut it but if you wanna send em a message ;) But seriously amazing Reno can’t wait to see what this team cooks up next

Extended Stay

We turned a weekend stay until a week long adventure. Brian was wonderful at accommodating our change of plans. The neighborhood is in an upward transition and the house is an older home that has been beautifully remodeled. The home is well stocked and very comfortable. We loved being able to walk to the local restaurants! Perfect stay!!!

Very clean, modern and comfortable. Excellent location close to restaurants and riverwalk which we used a few times. Definitely a neighborhood in transition which we expected based on other reviews but felt very safe there. Brian is a very gracious and conscientious host.

Very comfortable

This is a lovely remodeled home in an old mill village super close to the Riverwalk and very convenient to downtown just across the bridge. The neighborhood looks sketchy, but it's really fine, very quiet. The house is very clean and the furniture is comfortable- very nice recliners and sofa in living room. Keyless entry and no-contact check-in is appreciated, and the requested check-out activities are easy. I'd definitely stay here again.

Moving kids into SC housing

The house is located on a street in transition (some rundown units and some active construction projects), which hurts its curb appeal. The house itself has been restored beautifully and was very comfortable for our stay. It's location was close to USC housing and various stores and restaurants, so it was a convenient base of operations while we were in town. There was some dog waste in the yard when we arrived but it was cleaned up the next day when the grass was mowed. All in all, it was a great stay.

Adorable home in great location

We stayed in July for a family wedding with our three young adult children. The house was very clean, very comfortable and nicely updated. We loved being ale to walk to the Riverwalk in the mornings. The location was great, close to the Vista and all the wedding activities. The neighborhood was up and coming, but the location outweighed that factor.

Great location! Great Remodel!

We were in town to help son move to a new place. This house was in between old apartment and new house. Worked out perfect for us. Neighbors and street were quiet. Felt safe walking dog early in morning and last evening walk. Great park for kids a block away. Sadly did not walk on Riverwalk which is extremely close by. Will be back and save it for the next time. Host is easy to work with. Clean house. Plenty of supplies. Comfy beds. Too pooped moving and did not walk up to shops nearby. Thanks for everything!! We will be back...
