Introducing 6 Gibbes Court, a picturesque historical gem nestled in the desirable University Hill area of downtown Columbia. Originally built in 1911 as the Haltiwanger House, this charming residence not only exudes southern hospitality and elegance but also has the honor and distinction of being a member of the National Register of Historic Places, South Carolina Department of Archives. Enter the footstep of the home where you're greeted by the sight of the Palmetto tree etched into the glass of the front door and the historical marker to the right of the front entrance which beckons discovery of what lies inside the home's historic walls. Two of the four levels serve as the primary living areas while the attic and basement levels offer immense storge and additional workspace. Once inside you will note the residence expertly fuses its rich historical detail and timeless character with three visibly spacious rooms - sitting room, formal living room and formal dining room - all of which present their own unique architectural details along with original hardwood floors, fireplaces and high ceilings. An adjacent chef's kitchen, remodeled in 2012, offers modern luxuries with no stone left unturned. Surrounded by Calacatta Gold marble countertops, premium grade wood cabinets, Subzero and Marvel refrigeration, the highlight of the kitchen is the stunning CornuFé 44 Dual Fuel Range, crafted in France.

Winding up the 3-tier staircase, note the extensive crown moulding throughout the home as you enter the second level which offers 4 bedrooms accented by 10-foot ceilings and original hardwoods. Two bedrooms have their own private bath and there is an additional shared hallway bath adorned with a claw foot tub which embellishes the historical ambiance of this home.
