| Description. A spacious, gray stone house in quiet neighborhood only 3 miles from downtown Columbia, the University of South Carolina and the state capitol grounds. Also, blocks away from a local river outfitter which organizes trips and rents equipment for paddlers. Three different rivers run through Columbia, all beautiful. Columbia is a mid-size city (about 600,000) with a variety of good restaurants and clubs, some excellent small theaters, an art house cinema, beautiful parks and botanical gardens, venues for music (jazz, blues, rock and classical). The university also sponsors events and speakers year round. Located in the center of the state, Columbia is a 2 hour drive to the coast (Charleston, Savannah), a two hour drive to the mountains (Asheville, NC) and a few hours from major cities (Charlotte in 90 minutes, Atlanta in three hours.) The house is 1600 square feet, has two bedrooms (1 with queen size bed, another with full size futon), two baths, living room, dining room and a large "family room" in the back. There is a small front porch to sit on and a large back yard with outdoor seating, a hammock and a vegetable garden which should be ripe with harvestables when you arrive. Weather is hot in July and August (80's and 90's) and absolutely gorgeous every other month of the year. I would prefer to bring my cat on holiday, but would consider exchanging pet care duties. | ||
