About This Home
Welcome to a home that offers room to breathe, space to create, and the opportunity to enjoy the lifestyle that has drawn so many people to Laurel. Situated on approximately 1.26 acres, this 5-bedroom, 3-bath home combines original character and outdoor amenities that are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Inside, you'll find beautiful original hardwood floors and a spacious floor plan that creates spaces for both entertaining and privacy. The kitchen appliances, along with the washer and dryer, will remain with the home, making your move even easier. For added peace of mind, there is a whole-home generator, reverse osmosis water filter, and the original cast iron plumbing beneath the home to the street has been replaced with PVC. Step outside and discover a property designed for gardening, homesteading, hobbies, and entertaining. Established fruit and nut plantings include producing fig, elderberry, high-bush blueberry, grape vines, and a mature pecan tree. A 40' x 80' chain-link fenced garden helps protect your harvest from wildlife, while compost bins are already in place for the next growing season. The large wired workshop provides exceptional flexibility for projects, storage, or a home-based business. Attached is an unfinished space already framed and ready to be completed as an efficiency apartment, guest suite, or private studio. A 10' x 12' metal storage building offers additional space for lawn equipment and tools.
