Description of 1108 W 7th St, Columbia - MLS# 3002271

Nestled on 3.55 acres along Columbia’s storied West 7th Street, the Whitthorne House is a rare blend of historic soul and modern ease. Mature magnolia, black walnut, pecan, oak, and maple trees frame a sweeping lawn where chickens roam and a barn, garden shed, and pet enclosure add pastoral charm. Built in 1902 with portions dating to 1848, the home welcomes with double oak glass doors opening to a grand staircase and chandelier-lit foyer. Eleven foot ceilings soar above original heart pine floors that glow with the patina of time, while vintage chandeliers and eight decorative fireplaces create a rhythm of warmth and elegance throughout. Stately parlors and dining rooms open through pocket doors, offering gracious spaces that flow seamlessly for both intimate gatherings and lively entertaining. A remodeled kitchen pairs quartz counters with sage cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, stainless appliances, and a timeless tile backsplash, balancing heritage with function. Remodeled baths, including a jewel-box retreat with clawfoot tub and patterned tile, feel both romantic and refined. Modern updates ensure comfort without compromise, including dual pane windows, a newer roof, full interior and exterior paint, 8-ton HVAC, Rain Soft water and air systems, and new washer, dryer, and water heater. Expansive bedrooms upstairs frame views of mature trees and wide skies, while abundant light softens every corner of the home. Wraparound porches invite quiet mornings and golden-hour sunsets, each vantage point alive with the sounds of birdsong and cicadas. Beyond the home, the acreage offers room for gardens, gatherings under the trees, or simply a quiet walk through a landscape that feels timeless. Just minutes from Columbia’s historic square, where President James K. Polk’s Home & Museum anchors one end of West 7th and the Whitthorne House graces the other, this residence is more than a home. It is a living piece of Tennessee history waiting for its next steward.
