You’ll love living in The Birches! This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is the perfect retreat, seamlessly blending modern updates with a peaceful natural setting. Located on a private cul-de-sac next to Wilde Lake Park, this home offers over $100K in upgrades and thoughtful eco-friendly features. Head past the charming covered porch—perfect for morning coffee—and into the welcoming entryway, with a living room on one side and a dining room on the other. The living room with newly installed carpet opens to a bright home office or reading room that overlooks the serene backyard. The custom-designed kitchen by Brennan + Company Architects features low-VOC cabinetry, ALKEMI counters made from recycled materials, and a handmade upcycled glass backsplash. It’s outfitted with stainless steel Bosch appliances, including an induction cooktop with a retractable downdraft vent, a built-in wall oven with convection and warming options, and newly installed LED lighting (2024). A breakfast bar connects the kitchen to the cozy family room, which offers cork flooring, a built-in fireplace, and access to the screened-in porch with skylights. Pocket doors with foliage glass panels separate the kitchen from the main-level laundry center with built-in cabinetry for added convenience. A half bath with a corner sink and wall niche completes the main level. Upstairs, the spacious owner’s suite includes an updated bath and ample closet space. Three additional bedrooms and a remodeled hall bath are just down the hall. The walk-out basement, remodeled in 2022, is perfect for entertaining, with a finished rec room, a newly added hobby room, and a second washer/dryer hookup. The backyard is a true oasis, offering privacy with evergreen trees, a well-defined pollinator garden, and a rain garden that qualifies for a stormwater credit. Relax on the deck with built-in seating or in the screened-in porch, complete with skylights and a ceiling fan. A two-car garage with additional storage completes this meticulously maintained home. Conveniently located near Downtown Columbia and just 0.2 miles from Wilde Lake Park, this home also comes with a home warranty for added peace of mind. Welcome home!
