Description

An exquisite blend of historic charm and modern luxury awaits in this meticulously renovated 8,561 sq ft estate in Columbia’s prestigious Wales Garden. Thoughtfully designed with superior craftsmanship, this residence has a seamless balance of formal elegance and comfortable living in one of the city’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Original millwork and hardwood floors reflect timeless character, while high-end finishes and updated systems provide today’s comforts. The main floor flows beautifully through gracious formal rooms, a sun-filled den, a large family room, and a private study. Four gas fireplaces add warmth and understated sophistication. The chef’s kitchen impresses with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking range, and expansive prep areas—ideal for entertaining without sacrificing clean, elegant aesthetics. Upstairs, five bedrooms each includes an en-suite bath and ample closet space. The spacious primary suite is a private retreat with walk-in dressing room and a spa-inspired bath. A temperature-controlled wine cellar adds a unique feature for collectors and entertainers alike. Enhanced accessibility with private elevator. Outdoor fountains and three distinct patios with inviting spaces to dine, relax, gather with guests or entertain in outdoor kitchen. A Koi pond and manicured landscaping provide a peaceful escape, with curated outdoor elements that echo the home’s refined architecture. A rear-entry three-car garage ensures convenience without disrupting the home’s aesthetic appeal. Situated just minutes from downtown Columbia, the University of South Carolina, and the city’s best dining, academic, and cultural institutions, this home is a rare opportunity to own a property that combines historic charm with modern luxury at the highest level. Renovated with purpose and maintained with care, it stands as a legacy property—offering design, quality, and location without compromise.
