About This Home

Amazing NEW PRICE! Schedule your private showing today! "MAJESTIC" perfectly encapsulates this historic mansion nestled in the heart of Laurens, SC's historic district. This truly unique residence is situated on one of the city's most distinguished and renowned streets. Known as the Wright-Easterby home, constructed in 1925, this breathtaking Spanish Colonial Revival masterpiece was crafted by the esteemed architect Robert Hemphill from Greenwood, SC. Renowned for its striking red terracotta roof, stucco walls adorned with wide eaves and medallions, and its flat-roof porch and stucco pillars, this home stands as a singular gem, potentially unmatched throughout the entire state of South Carolina, representing a rare architectural design in this region of the country. The residence boasts 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, set on over an acre of flat, lush terrain, providing ample space for the addition of a pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen, and firepit—options that are certainly within reach. The rear of the property is enclosed by a charming brick fence, with additional land extending beyond. The centerpiece is a beautifully designed Spanish pergola, an idyllic spot for reading, sipping wine, and basking in the warmth of sunny days. The backyard also includes parking and a recently reroofed two-car detached garage. Now, let us embark on the grand tour. As you approach the home, you are greeted by two towering palmetto palms that enhance the landscape magnificently. The newly poured sidewalk sparkles invitingly. The expansive porch exudes a stately charm, beckoning you to unwind and gather with friends for an evening cocktail. Upon entering the home, you are immediately struck by its exquisite beauty, enveloped in a rich history spanning a century. The foyer is spacious and airy, showcasing a magnificent grand staircase. To your right, a stunning keeping room features built-in bookcases and a cozy gas log fireplace. To the left lies the living room, also adorned with a gas log fireplace. Throughout most of the home, beautiful hardwood floors create a stunning aesthetic. The dining room is impressively large, embodying the grandeur one would anticipate, complete with a magnificent crystal chandelier. The kitchen has been elegantly updated with a stunning granite countertop and a sophisticated gas cooktop. There exists a remarkable sunroom adorned with wooden shutters—a delightful sanctuary for relaxation and leisure. Ascending to the upper level, you will find yourself thoroughly impressed, featuring four spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms for shared use, alongside the primary suite, which boasts its own luxurious en-suite. The expansive upstairs foyer is graced with rich red carpeting, while original hardwood floors lie beneath. On the lower level, an unfinished basement awaits, perfect for ample storage. Recently, a brand-new roof was installed over the summer; the process spanned eight weeks and incurred a cost of nearly $90,000. The home underwent a professional inspection two years ago, with necessary repairs completed and documented. You will appreciate the convenience of being in close proximity to historic downtown Laurens, with only a 30-minute drive to Simpsonville. The home is in the epicenter of the historic district in Laurens, surrounded by gorgeous historical homes, each with its own architectural design. This residence is a genuine piece of history, and the current owners have cherished their 40 years here, filled with countless wonderful memories. They are now prepared to pass the torch to the next generation, allowing them to forge their memories. You are welcome to contact me with any inquiries or to arrange a private showing.
