118 Broad Street S, Columbia

Steeped in history and Southern charm, the Theophilus Henry Woodley House (C. 1896) stands proudly at the corner of Broad Street and Highway 64, formerly Scuppernong Road. An inviting beacon of warm hospitality welcoming visitors to Columbia's storied downtown and the scenic Gateway to the Outer Banks. This distinguished three-story residence blends timeless architectural character with modern livability. The inviting front enclosed porch and classic lines reflect a bygone era, while thoughtful updates make it a comfortable home for today's lifestyle. The main level features spacious living areas, laundry hookups, and a flexible rear storage room that—with simple enhancements—could easily serve as a fifth bedroom or home office. The spacious formal dining room—with its proud exposed beams— has entertained more than a century's worth of cherished gatherings rich with warmth, flavor, and family. A separate entrance and covered stairway lead upstairs to a bright, private space with two generous bedrooms and two full baths, offering an ideal setup for a bed & breakfast, long-term rental, or guest quarters. Large bedrooms throughout the home provide comfort and versatility, and a fully floored, walk-up attic offers abundant storage or potential for future expansion. From this prime location, you're just a short stroll to Columbia's restaurants, boutique shops, the renowned Pocosin Arts Center, and the scenic boardwalks along the Scuppernong River. Outdoor enthusiasts will also appreciate proximity to the Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge—home to some of the most breathtaking natural landscapes in eastern North Carolina. Here's your chance not just to own a home, but to become part of Columbia's story—where history, charm, and opportunity meet in the heart of downtown.
