Rustic Saltbox Duplex Home - Minutes to USC/Vista

#scandysaltboxduplexright is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit in a historic Granby Mill Village "Saltbox" House in Columbia, SC. These homes were built in the early 20th century as workforce housing for the nearby Granby Textile Mills. The extensive renovations completed in 2021 retains the original heart pine floors, high ceilings and large windows. Centrally located, the house is a few minutes walk from Founders Park (USC's Baseball Stadium), 1/2 mile from 701 Whaley and 1.5 miles to Williams Brice.

The house is done in a Scandinavian Industrial Rustic style with black metal, raw wood, and farmhouse details throughout. We love the comfy furnishings and the functionality of each new and antique piece of furniture sourced from local shops. The decor pays homage to the historic textile mill industry of the neighborhood with antique bobbins, weaving shuttles, and other reclaimed found objects on the walls and tabletops. The second queen size bedroom on the second floor is nestled in the 'saltbox' sloped roof of the house with angled ceilings and bead board wall and ceiling paneling, giving this room tons of character and style. A full size futon is located upstairs in the hallway for additional guests to sleep on. There are board games provided for your entertainment while staying at this house.

All of the areas listed - the entire space.

This is an up and coming neighborhood of mostly "saltbox" style historic houses originally built for textile mill workers at Olympia and Granby Mills in the early 20th century. Like many historic neighborhoods, some of the houses as you enter the block or neighborhood have deferred maintenance. There are also several houses on Picadilly Street undergoing major renovations.

This neighborhood is completely safe and is within a few minutes walk of the University of South Carolina's Founders Park Baseball Stadium and a 6 minute drive to The Horseshoe on USC's campus. Parking on the street requires a permit, which we provide two for your stay (there is a $50 fine if a permit is not returned at the end of your stay) and an off-street parking pad that fits up to two vehicles.

An access point to the riverfront Granby Park is a 3 minute walk from the house at 299 Gist Street in Columbia. Enjoy the rhythmic sounds of the Congaree River while taking in the sites along the shoreline at Granby Park.

Car is the dominant mode of transportation in Columbia. Uber and Lyft are great options and there is also a Comet public transportation bus line that stops within a quarter of a mile of the house.
