Tucked into the heart of Wales Garden, beneath a canopy of mature landscape and set across a rare double lot, the Wallace–McGee House stands as one of Columbia’s most significant and distinctive properties. Designed in 1937 by acclaimed architect Edward Durell Stone, whose work includes The Kennedy Center and the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA.) From the moment you approach, the home’s presence is unmistakable. Clean lines, smooth stucco, and expansive walls of glass create a design that feels both grounded and forward-thinking. Built of concrete and steel, it was crafted as more than a home—it is an early expression of modern living, emphasizing light, openness, and a connection to the outdoors. Inside, natural light fills the space, shifting throughout the day and drawing the outside in. The layout is open yet intentional, offering both scale and comfort. Original architectural elements have been carefully preserved, while thoughtful updates enhance livability. At the center, a reimagined kitchen and living area serves as a natural gathering place, blending clean design with high-end function. Large glass expanses frame beautifully landscaped grounds, creating privacy and tranquility rarely found in-town. Outdoor spaces feel like a private retreat, anchored by a gunite pool and surrounded by mature greenery—ideal for both quiet moments and entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite opens to a private balcony overlooking the gardens.Recognized on the National Register of Historic Places and featured in national publications and on HGTV, the Wallace–McGee House is a rare opportunity to own a true architectural landmark.This home currently is qualified for The Bailey Bill which passes on tax benefits to the new owners and remains for 18 years. The home also underwent an extensive renovation and included a forensic roof study and replacement, updated kitchen, hvac and pool updates converting to salt system and new lining. Today the Wallace-McGhee home represents a rare opportunity to own a true architectural landmark-a home where design, history and livability converge in a way that is seldom found in the Columbia Market.
