Southern Visions Realty is proud to congratulate Anne Wilkins Brooks on another successful transaction, representing the buyers in the purchase of 6211 Lakeshore Drive, a beautifully renovated waterfront home in Forest Lake Estates, one of Columbia, South Carolina's most established and desirable neighborhoods.
The property closed for $925,000 and showcases the unique appeal of waterfront living within minutes of downtown Columbia. This successful closing further reflects Anne's experience helping buyers and sellers navigate the Columbia, Lake Murray, Lexington, and greater Midlands real estate markets.
A Premier Waterfront Home in Forest Lake Estates
Located at 6211 Lakeshore Drive, the residence offers approximately 3,213 square feet of living space on a 0.73-acre waterfront lot with 148 feet of shoreline. The home combines timeless mid-century modern architecture with carefully considered renovations, creating a property that balances classic design with modern comfort.
Forest Lake Estates continues to be one of Columbia's most sought-after neighborhoods thanks to its mature landscape, established homes, convenient location, and access to waterfront living that is rarely available so close to the city's business, medical, and cultural centers. Homes in this community remain highly desirable among buyers seeking both lifestyle and long-term value.
