Scandinavian Saltbox House - Walk to USC Baseball

This is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom unit in a historic Olympia Mill Village "Saltbox" House in Columbia, SC. These homes were built in the late 19th century specifically for workers of the nearby Olympia and Granby Textile Mills. This particular saltbox house has been completely renovated but maintains the original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and large windows. The house is in the up and coming neighborhood of Olympia-Granby and is a few minutes walk of Founders Park, USC's Baseball Stadium.

The house is done in a Scandinavian Industrial Modern style with black metal, raw wood, and minimalist 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.

We live nearby and are accessible by the Airbnb app, phone or text during your stay.

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 late 1800s. Since then, many of these structures have become student rentals but are now quickly being renovated and brought into the 21st century by investors and developers. Like many historic neighborhoods, some of the houses as you enter the block or neighborhood have deferred maintenance. There is even a saltbox house that has had fire damage and sits vacant, but no worries, 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. The parking pad can fit 2 vehicles. Parking on the street requires a permit, which we cannot provide to guests. We only provide off-street parking for 2 vehicles!

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.

According to Maps, this house is .2 miles to Founders Park/USC Baseball Stadium, 1.4 mile to the Edventure Children's Museum, 1.7 miles to Williams-Brice Stadium/USC Football, 1.8 miles to the USC/Horseshoe & South Carolina Statehouse, 3.7 miles to Riverbanks Zoo & Gardens, 6.9 miles from the Columbia Metropolitan Airport, and 7.7 miles from the Ft. Jackson Visitors Center.
