Home Details for 1000 Evergreen Avenue

You cannot place a price on COOL. A mid-century modern home renovation as unique as this will set your life on a path to unleash your creativity. Maybe that seems far-fetched, but I can assure you that great minds gravitate to unique homes and this one fits the bill. We are talking about a 2700+ SF home with 4 bedrooms and 4 baths. That's unique right there! Add a really massive living room/dining combo in this open floor plan home and huge bedrooms...every one! Plus an updated kitchen, separate laundry room, den, a brick garden shed, and 2-car garage. I can almost see the original homeowner in the 1950s sipping cocktails, listening to the hi-fi and admiring their shiny, aluminum Christmas tree in the huge front window! And this house definitely has huge windows...it's flooded with sunlight! Located on a corner lot in the coveted Avenues of West Columbia, the location makes it a great home for any family (or "cool cat"). Sometimes called "E Avenue" and other times known as "Evergreen Avenue," it is near USC, downtown Columbia and all the interstates. It looks to be straight out of the 50s, but is not totally original...the current owner recently installed a 50-year roof, which dismisses any lingering worry about roof leaks in your lifetime! It's all brick/concrete construction, so as a baseline, you should understand that this is where the phrase, "they don't build 'em like they used to, originated. But there are several unique features that have remained intact that give the entire house that 50's vibe: Glass block windows, unique hidden toothbrush holders in the wall, vintage tile in bathrooms, tons of storage in very industrial looking closets...oh, there are sooo many closets! And the secret bath cabinet hidden inside a wall mirror looks like it came straight out of an old Hollywood movie. Now, it needs some yardwork, paint and the garage is pretty dirty, but plumbing has recently been updated; the kitchen also. It has, after all, been a rental for 5 years, so expect a little freshening up if you might want to make this your home. If you would rather make this a rental property, because of the en suite bedrooms, you will be picking a proven winner! Disclai
