Tucked into the heart of Forest Acres, this architect-designed residence offers a level of design, scale, and finish rarely seen in this market. Influenced by European and Scandinavian principles, the home reflects a quiet, modern aesthetic where proportion, light, and material selection take precedence.Completed in 2020 and set on a beautifully landscaped 0.55-acre lot, this all-brick home spans approximately 3,900 square feet with 5 bedrooms, 4 full and 2 half baths. Twelve-foot ceilings, eight-foot doors, and wide plank white oak flooring create a sense of openness and continuity, while custom lighting and integrated storage bring a high level of intention to the interiors.The main level is both functional and well-composed, offering a private primary suite and a guest suite with ensuite bath, along with a formal dining room and connected living spaces that flow effortlessly into the kitchen. At the center, the kitchen is defined by an oversized leathered quartz island, 48-inch Bertazzoni gas range with double ovens, custom cabinetry, and a butler's pantry with nugget ice maker, beverage refrigerator, and boiling water tap.A covered porch with a wood-burning fireplace extends the living space outward, overlooking a west-facing backyard designed with both privacy and presence in mind. The black fiberglass saltwater pool with tanning ledge serves as a striking focal point, with space in place for a future outdoor kitchen.Additional features include marble bathroom finishes, whole-house Generac generator, reverse osmosis water system, EV charger, and a two-car garage with workshop space.Positioned just minutes from Trenholm Plaza, downtown Columbia, and Fort Jackson, this is a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully designed, newer construction home within one of Columbia's most established neighborhoods.
