5979 Saint Leonards Drive5 bed3 bath2,419 sqftLakefront living on the edge of Heath Park — 5979 Saint Leonards Drive, Columbus, GA Welcome home to this spacious, beautifully updated 5-bedroom, 3-bath in the established Windsor Park neighborhood — backing right up to Lake Heath and Heath Park. Step out the back door onto the nearly 2-mile Heath Lake Loop, a local favorite for walking, jogging, fishing, and birding. The lake is quite literally your backyard. Inside, 2,419 square feet spread across multiple levels have been refreshed for easy, comfortable living: new luxury vinyl plank flooring, fresh neutral paint, and big windows that pull in natural light throughout. The great room centers on a classic wood-burning fireplace framed by oversized windows overlooking the trees. The renovated kitchen is a standout — crisp white shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless appliances including a double oven and induction cooktop, with a sunny breakfast area and a separate dining room for gatherings. Five genuinely spacious bedrooms and three full baths give everyone room to spread out, while the finished daylight basement adds flexible space for a home office, den, or guest suite. Outside, a large yard rolls back toward the water beneath mature hardwoods and pines, complete with a covered two-car carport, extra parking, and a storage shed. Classic 1965 character, thoughtfully modernized, in a quiet lake-and-park setting minutes from schools, shopping, and Fort Benning. Come see what it's like to have the lake and the trail right outside your door.
