Property Description
Rare Restoration Opportunity in Laurens' South Harper Historic District! Set on over an acre with the adjacent lot included, this early-1900s home offers a unique opportunity for an investor, renovator, or historic-home enthusiast to restore a substantial property with character and abundant space. The 7-bedroom, 4.5-bath home retains original hardwood floors, high ceilings, classic tile, fireplaces, and other historic details that are increasingly difficult to find. The main-level primary suite offers two full bathrooms and dual walk-in closets, while the spacious upstairs includes four additional bedrooms and a checkered-tile bath. Recent improvements include a new furnace, ductwork, and downstairs AC unit (2023). The adjacent lot adds flexibility for expansion, additional privacy, or potential future development, subject to approvals. A private brick courtyard and mature magnolia further enhance the charm of this beautiful property. A true renovation project with scale, land, and original character. Bring your vision and restore this one-of-a-kind property.
