What I Love:

Homes like this do not come around often. Built in 1925 and set along one of Laurens’ most admired streets, this Spanish colonial revival masterpiece stands with a presence that is both regal and inviting. Designed by architect Robert Hemphill, the home’s signature terracotta roof, wide stuccoed eaves, sculpted medallions, and graceful porch columns create an unforgettable first impression. Inside, you feel the history immediately: the grand staircase anchoring the foyer, the warmth of stunning hardwood floors, the glow of two gas-log fireplaces, and the beautifully crafted living and keeping rooms that have hosted gatherings for a century.


With 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths positioned on more than an acre of level land, the property offers impressive room to dream. Whether you imagine a pool, an outdoor kitchen, or gardens that spill into the sunlight, this setting welcomes possibility. The Spanish-inspired pergola is a particularly charming highlight, offering a peaceful spot to read, sip wine, or simply enjoy warm afternoons. Recent updates, including a reroofed detached garage and a major roof installation completed this past summer, further support comfort and longevity. Although the home is offered as is, it remains a rare opportunity for buyers who value architecture, heritage, and the chance to steward a property that is truly one of a kind.


About the Town:

Laurens is a place where history and small-town charm blend naturally with a relaxed, welcoming pace. Strolls through downtown bring you past local shops, bakeries, and community favorites, all surrounded by the town’s classic architecture and vibrant heritage. There is a softness to the landscape here, with tree-lined streets and gentle hills that make everyday walks feel peaceful and grounding.


Outdoor lovers appreciate being close to parks, green spaces, and scenic drives, while day-to-day conveniences remain comfortably within reach. A short 30-minute drive brings you to Simpsonville, giving you an easy connection to larger shopping, dining, and entertainment. Laurens is the kind of town where neighbors wave, traditions run deep, and life feels balanced in a way that is both refreshing and deeply comforting.


Agent Comments:

"GRAND" is the best description of this historic mansion located in the center of the historic district in Laurens, SC. An absolutely one-of-a-kind home on one of the most prominent and well-known streets in the city of Laurens. Known as the Wright-Easterby home, built in 1925, this stunning Spanish colonial revival home was designed by architect Robert Hemphill of Greenwood, SC. Known for its red terracotta roof, stuccoed walls with wide eaves with medallions, and flat-roof porch and stuccoed pillars, it is one of a kind, quite possibly including the entire state of South Carolina, and a rarity—a one-of-a-kind design in this section of the country. The home features 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths situated on over an acre of terrain that is flat and abundant for you to expand with a pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen, and firepit, which are certainly an option with room to spare. The back of the property is surrounded with a brick fence with more property extending past. The focal point is the Spanish-designed pergola that is just a lovely area to read, have a glass of wine, and enjoy warm sunny days. The backyard also features parking and a two-car detached garage, which was recently reroofed. Let's take the grand tour. You notice as you walk up to the home two palmetto palms; they tower and add so much to the landscape. The newly poured sidewalk gleams. The oversized porch is very stately and very inviting to relax and congregate with friends for an evening cocktail. As soon as you enter the home, you are overwhelmed with just how beautiful it is. You feel the history of 100 years surrounding you. The foyer is large and open and showcases the grand staircase. On your right is a gorgeous keeping room with built-in bookcases and a gas log fireplace. On the left is the living room with a gas log fireplace. The home has beautiful hardwood throughout most of the home; they are stunning. The dining room is large and is as grand as you would expect with a beautiful crystal chandelier. The kitchen has been updated with a granite counter and gas cooktop. There is an amazing sunroom with wooden shutters—a wonderful place to hang out and relax. Upstairs you will not be disappointed, featuring 4 bedrooms and two full baths to share and the primary, which has its own ensuite. The huge upstairs foyer features red carpet, and original hardwoods are underneath. Downstairs is an unfinished basement, ideal for storage. The home just had a new roof installed over the summer; it took 8 weeks and cost nearly $90,000. The home was professionally inspected 2 years ago, and repairs were made and are on file. You will love the convenience of being close to downtown Laurens, and it is only a 30-minute drive to Simpsonville. This home is a true piece of history, and the owners have enjoyed their 40 years in this home and have so many wonderful memories. They are ready to pass the torch to the next generation to create their own memories. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with questions or to schedule a private showing. This is truly a rare opportunity!
