Rare find! Almost 2 acres in the heart of Columbia with no hoa and no CA rules or fees. This 1962 built rancher sits back down the long narrow tree lined driveway but once you arrive the open space and possibilities are obvious. Standing from the front door you are looking down on the span of grassy meadow with flat dry land close to the house but as you go further back towards the creek, the land is protected by conservation and becomes marshy along the banks of the winding creek. On the other side of the creek, the land continues to the rear property line almost up to the back subdivision up the hill. Bring your ideas. Bring your pets. Bring your checkbook! This is one of a kind and if this is what you have been waiting for, you won't want to miss the opportunity. The home is a 2 finished level rancher with 2 car garage attached and huge shed/garage detached. The inside has a traditional floor plan on the main level with one added twist or spiral, with the access to the finished lower level is down a spiral staircase. From the front door, you enter the living room with wood floors, open to the dining room then back to the updated kitchen. Hall full bath services 2 bedrooms down the hall. The 3rd bedroom was converted to a library with built in bookcases and a spiral staircase to the lower level. The other access to the lower level, that we prefer you to use, is through the 2 car garage. From the dining room, the door enters the huge garage. Stairs go into the basement from the inside of the garage. Once in the basement you have open space for many possibilities. Full bath, den, huge rec room with fireplace.
