Open House

Description

Space to Live Well, Views That Stay Open 

Some homes stand out because of their finishes. Others because of their setting. This home offers both. 

Positioned along the former Scenic Hills golf course, 3800 Columbia Drive combines the convenience of a well-established neighborhood with a level of privacy that has become increasingly difficult to find. With no rear neighbors, expansive green space behind the property, and a thoughtfully updated interior, this original-owner residence reflects years of careful stewardship and intentional improvements. 

Designed for comfortable daily living and flexible use of space, the home offers over 2,000 square feet across a single-story layout, creating an easy flow between gathering spaces, private retreats, and areas designed to adapt to changing needs over time. 

Thoughtfully Updated for Everyday Living 

At the center of the home is a fully remodeled kitchen designed to function as both a workspace and gathering place. Updated cabinetry, decorative glass-front accents, newer countertops, recessed lighting, pendant fixtures, stainless steel appliances, a decorative backsplash, and an undermount sink create a space that feels both current and highly functional. A central island provides additional prep space, while bar seating keeps the kitchen connected to the main living area. 

The home's layout offers exceptional versatility with two living areas, two dining areas, and an enclosed Florida room that serves as a third living space. Whether used as a reading room, hobby space, game room, home gym, or year-round sunroom, the abundance of windows and views toward the former golf course create a bright and inviting environment throughout the day. 

Hardwood flooring and tile extend through the primary living spaces, complemented by recent interior paint, upgraded ceiling fans, built-in surround sound, rounded corners, architectural archways, and abundant natural light. 

For buyers who work remotely or need dedicated creative space, the fourth bedroom offers unique flexibility. Currently configured as an office and sewing room, it includes built-in cabinetry, Corian countertops, and a closet, allowing it to function easily as a bedroom, office, craft room, or study. 

A Spacious Primary Retreat 

The primary suite was designed with comfort in mind. Large enough to accommodate a sitting area, reading nook, or additional furniture, the room provides a sense of separation from the home's secondary bedrooms while maintaining convenient access to the main living spaces. 

The updated primary bathroom features a newer dual-sink vanity, updated backsplash, an upgraded walk-in shower with a recently replaced shower pan, and a generous walk-in closet offering substantial storage. 

The guest bathroom has also been updated, creating continuity throughout the home's most important spaces. 

Improvements That Matter 

While cosmetic updates are easy to notice, many of the home's most valuable improvements are the ones that contribute to long-term ownership confidence. 

Recent updates include: 

• Roof replaced in 2022 with transferable warranty

Space Beyond the Living Areas 

The attached two-car garage offers more than parking. A separate workshop and storage area provides additional flexibility for projects, hobbies, seasonal storage, or organizational needs. 

Outside, mature trees, established landscaping, and the oversized lot contribute to the home's sense of openness. The backyard extends toward the former golf course, creating uninterrupted views and a level of privacy rarely found in newer developments. 

Although the golf course is no longer active, residents continue to enjoy the open space for walking and recreation, preserving the visual benefit of the setting without the maintenance responsibilities associated with an operating course.
