Description
Step into a piece of Easley history. Construction on this home began in the 1890s and wasn't finished until 1900, built board by board over nearly a decade, and the home has since been thoughtfully restored and updated to bring its original character into today's standards of comfort and convenience. Set on a 1.11-acre corner lot in the heart of downtown Easley, the property is shaded by established oak trees and offers a rare sense of privacy for its in-town location. A private concrete driveway with room for 2 to 3 cars leads back to the rear of the property, with plenty of additional space to add a garage, a pool, or both. Walk up to a sprawling wraparound front porch, built for rocking chairs and long evenings, with exterior doors opening directly into both the living room and the kitchen, making indoor-outdoor entertaining effortless. Inside, soaring 12-foot ceilings on the main level set the tone. An original fireplace, accented with a gimbal light, anchors the living room to your left, with the dining room opening to your right, home to another original fireplace of its own. Throughout the main level, original window openings keep their historic proportions, now fitted with new windows in the same diamond-pane pattern as the originals. Several original doors and their transom windows remain intact on the first floor, and oversized period-style baseboards run throughout the home. The kitchen is the heart of the house: a 9-foot double-sided island topped in quartz, paired with custom soft-close cabinetry. Another original fireplace, also highlighted with a gimbal light, warms the room, while under-cabinet lighting, a cup washer at the sink, and three separate pantry spaces add thoughtful, modern function. There's seating for a crowd at the island. This is a kitchen made for gathering. The main level also holds the primary suite, complete with its own original fireplace and oversized mulled windows that fill the room with natural light. The ensuite features two closets (one a full walk-in), a soaking tub, and a separate walk-in shower. A second main-floor bedroom sits at the back of the house off the laundry room, ideal as a home office, guest room, or nursery. Just outside the laundry room, a covered back porch features the home's original well, now filled and covered, a charming nod to the property's history. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a full bathroom, along with a versatile loft space, perfect for a playroom, reading nook, or second living area. Engineered hardwood flooring runs throughout the home, with all three full bathrooms finished in tile. Custom lighting carries throughout as well, with flush-mount LEDs on dimmers in nearly every room. Beneath the historic charm, everything that matters mechanically has been fully updated: new plumbing throughout, including a new water line and city meter and a new sewer line to the road; entirely new electrical wiring; new insulation; a new roof; and new windows. The home is also equipped with brand-new HVAC, with separate units for the upstairs and downstairs, each with its own thermostat, for easy zoned comfort. Four bedrooms. Three full baths. Four original fireplaces. Built once over the course of a decade, and restored to carry it into its next century, this is a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Easley's history, moments from everything downtown has to offer.
