114 Martin Street, Laurens SC 29360-2820

Are you looking for something outside of the box filled with history and great bones? This home has that old school, Victorian charm, has been updated significantly and sits near the heart of downtown Laurens and happens to be my parents' house as well! Located just a couple minute walk to the town square with many restaurants so you can get a nice dinner and enjoy little mom and pop shops. Within walking distance as well (about 10 minutes) is the Laurens City Park which has a walking trail, mini golf course, and playground. Built in 1880, this home carries with it many years of history. Even the original manual doorbell, from 150 years ago, is still on the front door and is operational! All recent updates include NEW HVAC, water heater, floors, and appliances (all replaced in 2019) and a roof (replaced in 2017). Other updates include new floor joists for the first floor, a garage door added to the detached garage, and a brand NEW outbuilding (installed in past year) which comes with the home. The layout of the first floor includes the master bedroom, one full bath, living area, kitchen, and laundry. Follow the stairs upstairs and find bedroom two and three with a "jack and jill" bathroom attaching each bedroom. Outside, you'll find a wrap around porch to enjoy a cool evening amongst a dream backyard, filled with beautiful flowering trees and bushes like dogwoods, crape myrtles, peonies, camillas, japanese maple, gardenias, and even a pecan tree. Many of these are fragrant and flower in the spring (the sellers especially love the smell of the gardenias). The yard is partially fenced and could easily be fenced in if the new owner would like to and comes with a patio to grill out on. FYI In case you are worried about the structural integrity of the home since it is old, the current owners had a structural engineer come out and inspect the home when they bought it and stated that the "structure appears to be stable and performing to normal design intents." You can view this report upon request from an agent if you would like. This is one of those homes that you have see in person to really appreciate the novelty of it. Come check it out!
