Tucked away at the end of a long, tree-canopied driveway, Briarwood (c. 1841/1851) offers complete seclusion on 5 acres for a countryside feel yet is just 7 minutes from downtown Columbia. This antebellum residence pairs historic architecture and character with modern comforts and a thoughtful renovation.
Steeped in early American history, the original house had two rooms with a dog trot. The present appearance, Italianate in nature, likely stems from an 1875 renovation, while subsequent remodeling between 1910 and 1920 reimagined the porch in the Classical Revival style. Behind the historic facade is a comprehensively modernized infrastructure, including extensive foundation work and structural framing, updated plumbing and electrical wiring, new interior doors and windows, a multi-zone HVAC system, and a newly added upstairs full bathroom.
The updated interior features 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, Farrow and Ball paint, soaring ceilings, and original heart pine floors. The expansive front porch leads into the Great Room, which showcases a commanding wood-burning fireplace, while the adjacent oversized dining room is ideal for memorable entertaining. The reimagined kitchen features a honed marble countertop, stainless steel appliances, and a Belgian blue limestone and marble floor. A detached barn can be used as a two-car garage and the unfinished second story offers excellent potential for future living space.
Because Briarwood is located within the unincorporated jurisdiction of Maury County rather than the municipal boundaries of the City of Columbia, While the home is not on the Historic Preservation Registry, archived historic articles and vintage photographs will be provided. Cameras are operational inside and outside of the house.
