Treat yourself to a stylish stay in the historic Granby Mill Village in Columbia, SC. This 2 bedroom, 2 bath home was renovated in 2023 but retains much of its 1900-era charm. This spacious house is situated near the city center, is close to interstates, and is within walking distance to USC housing and most athletic fields. Come sit a spell on the front porch then enjoy close proximity to USC's campus, the Congaree River, 701 Whaley, Riverbanks Zoo, Colonial Life Arena, and more!
A bright front door welcomes you to a bungalow built in 1900 for the foremen who worked at the textile mills; these historic mill buildings can be admired from the house and porch. The home boasts 2 king-sized beds, original heart pine floors, 9 foot ceilings, a glass shower enclosure, dedicated workspace, two 32" smart tvs, washer/dryer, a fenced-in backyard, and large front porch with swing. Most nearby streets are populated with duplexes which are home to many students and young professionals.
This space is a centrally-located spot for parents visiting their kids at school. Cook a meal in the well-stocked kitchen (heavy gauge non-stick cookware, baking sheets, Pyrex bowls, Keurig single-serve with pods), help with laundry in the stackable washer/dryer, or gather in the warm living room (leather couch and velvet curtains) to connect and celebrate birthdays, graduations and holidays.
Sports aficionados can walk to baseball games at Founders Park which is just a few blocks (.4 miles) away. On game days, you can hear the cheers from the porch! Gamecock football is also within walking distance (1.3 miles away); the quickest route goes through Olympia-Granby where you can take in the tailgate scene. Carolina basketball and the Rice Athletics Center (soccer, softball, tennis, etc.) are both less than 1.5 miles away.
A few words about trains: they are a pain in Columbia. Tracks crisscross the city, they often block traffic and they are active at night. Sound machines are provided in both bedrooms to help keep you snoozing as the trains move through.
PARKING: Off-street parking in driveway is available for 4 vehicles. Street parking is by permit only; no permits will be provided.
