About this home

Steps from the fast rising BullStreet District, Gather COLA and right next door to the beloved Spotted Salamander Cafe, this property presents something rare. NAC zoning with NO HOA-a natural fit for a cafe, boutique, office, studio, live/work setup, or rental (subject to city approval). Charming and full of character, the historic home features a large front porch made for slow mornings and lively evenings in one of downtown Columbia's most walkable neighborhoods. At 1,210 SQFT, it blends original charm with recent updates: new roof (2025), exterior paint (2024), and vapor barrier (2024). Currently configured as a 3BR/1.5BA with prior commercial use, it gives exceptional flexibility. And the timing is ideal-Publix breaks ground in 2026, USC's medical school opens nearby in 2027, and AMAROK is relocating its HQ to BullStreet. Live in it, lease it, or build a business in it. Disclaimer: CMLS has not reviewed and, therefore, does not endorse vendors who may appear in listings.
