Welcome to 1221 Columbia St., a rare two story vintage Heights home rehabbed in 2018.
This lovely property on a 6600 square foot lot is located on a beautiful, tree lined residential street in the center of the Heights neighborhood. It is zoned to Harvard Elementary.
The exterior of the house has just been freshly painted.
The shaded front porch includes a porch swing, plenty of space for planters and a lovely place to sit.
A sunny formal entry includes a half guest bath tucked under the stairs. The gorgeous hardwood floors run throughout the first and second levels of the home.
There is a mud room at the back of the home when coming in from the garage, though this large entry area could certainly also accommodate a set up for shoes, bags, coats, etc.
Immediately past the entry is a spacious living room looking out on Columbia St. The stunning chandelier is one of the many upgrades the current sellers have installed.
There is more than ample space on the first/living level for sizeable, comfortable furniture. The plantation shutters have separate top and bottom sections for flexibility with light and privacy.
The palette of the home throughout is neutral and pristine.
The generous dining area sits adjacent to the kitchen, with the perfect glass fronted and shelved closet for formal tableware or other storage. Lighting throughout the property was upgraded to Virtual Comfort.
The true heart of the home, the bright kitchen offers an informal place to eat or work.
Quartz countertops and a neutral backsplash are timeless. Just beyond the refrigerator are the pantry cabinets.
The kitchen is really quite large and could accommodate an island, though there is already so much counter and cabinet space.
Looking back toward the dining area, with the mud/laundry room and back door to the right.
The utility space very comfortably fits a side-by-side washer/dryer set on pedestals and includes a hanging bar.
Opposite the washer/dryer is the mud room nook including a bench, storage drawers, coat/bag/leash hooks and a closet.
Lastly on the first floor is a darling half bath located off the front entry hall.
All bedrooms in this property are on the second floor, with the quite large primary suite sitting at the front of the home. In addition to the Virtual Comfort lighting, the sellers also upgraded the ceiling fans.
There is so much space and light here, along with custom plantation shutters. The door to the back left is the bathroom.
One last perspective of the primary bedroom, which atypically offers a walk-in closet (door to the left of the standing mirror).
The primary bath is outfitted with a luxurious soaking tub and separate frameless glass shower. The room has incredible natural light, and again the plantation shutters provide for closing the lower sections for privacy.
A dual sink vanity has excellent lighting, as well as fantastic drawer and cabinet space, including the floor to ceiling linen cabinets at the far end.
Every detail was attended to, this bathroom is a serene and beautiful place to retreat.
The primary suite's walk-in closet is the final fabulous touch, with hanging, shelf and drawer space.
Outside the primary suite in the hall is the shared full bath with tub/shower combo, available to the two secondary bedrooms.
As with every other room, the colors are soft, neutral and clean.
The wallpapered bedroom currently set up as a nursery has a nice closet and custom window treatments.
Looking back toward the hall and primary suite, the shared bathroom is just outside the bedroom doorway, to the right.
The third bedroom accommodates a queen size bed as well as a desk, and also has an ample closet. The door leads to a small deck overlooking the back yard.
Another perspective of the third bedroom better shows the space available for a bed and nightstand.
Now to the outside and amazing back yard and deck with a pergola!
The 6600 square foot lot and two story floor plan translates to exceptional outdoor space.
The deck is spacious and hardly makes a dent in the landscaped yard.
Installed by the current owners, the climbing rose covered pergola offers a shaded spot from the sun in the warmer months, an ideal place for an outdoor meal or gathering.
Thoughtfully there is also a fan, a godsend if no breeze.
The entire back yard is fenced starting at the front corner of the house where there is an automatic driveway gate.
Standing at the furthest back corner of the yard offers a perspective of the green space available.
The oversized two car garage was completely rebuilt using the existing pad, in 2025.
The well lit garage is pristine and deep, there is plenty of room for two full size vehicles as well as outdoor and lawn equipment.
The extra space allows for a work bench as well as additional storage.

A rare find in the central Heights, this 2018 renovated three bedroom, two and a half bath home provides living space on the first level and all bedrooms on the second floor. Zoned to Harvard Elementary, the rehab included new plumbing with PEX supply lines, electrical, HVAC/duct work and blown in insulation in the attic. A gracious formal entry leads to the open and bright living/dining areas and kitchen with a breakfast bar and exceptional counter and cabinet space. Upgrades abound with timeless finishes, elegant Visual Comfort lighting and custom window treatments. On the second floor two guest bedrooms share a beautifully finished bath with tub/shower combo. A spacious primary suite includes a walk-in closet and bath with dual vanity, soaking tub and frameless glass shower. The 6600 sf lot provides a generous landscaped back yard plus a deck and new two car oversized garage (2025). The exterior is freshly painted plus too many additional investments to list (see attachments).
