$525,000 - 1705 Merkel Rd, Columbia

Built in 2023, 1705 Merkel Road offers the newer construction feel buyers want without the wait, unknowns, or post-closing upgrade costs. This 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home in Bear Creek Overlook features a first-floor primary suite, an open main level, and a bonus room with Jack-and-Jill bath upstairs. The owner-added upgrades are where this home truly stands out. The custom pantry features floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinetry with brass hardware, wrap-around wood floating shelves, and built-in drawers. The laundry room includes built-in upper cabinetry and a dedicated built-in folding counter. Outside, a covered patio and irrigation system with established landscaping complete the package. These are the finishing touches buyers typically budget for after closing on new construction. Here, they are already done and done well. Conveniently located with easy access to shopping, dining, and I-65, this home is genuinely move-in ready from day one.
