luxury houses with pool for sale Columbia County, United States

Built in 1974 by an engineer, this mid century modern residence resembles a French chateau in concept yet retains all the modern flourishes true to the period.

This 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house boasts lofty, two story atriums with dramatic, modern glass windows with vertical mullions casting inviting sunlight over the living spaces while the whole house white painted interiors add a lightness of being within all the rooms. The open kitchen with its mid mod mosaic tiles offer the clean lines you come to expect from this architectural specimen while also being warm and entertaining. This property is especially good at throwing parties as it lends itself to both indoor and outdoor lifestyle activities with patios in both the front and back lawns.
