Charm and character with room for all your animals! This updated gem sits on almost five acres in the heart of downtown Laurel Hill, just a minute from the school. Move-in ready with tall ceilings, a cozy gas fireplace, and beautifully updated kitchen and baths. The freshly painted interior is light and bright, with the kitchen opened to the eat-in dining area. New ceramic tile runs through the kitchen and walk-in pantry, while butcher block counters, a farmhouse sink, copper backsplash, and updated cabinets create a warm, welcoming feel. Original hardwood floors have been professionally refinished for vintage character with a like-new finish. A bonus Florida room offers flexible space for an office, playroom, or guest area, plus an indoor laundry room adds everyday convenience. Major systems are covered: brand-new HVAC (Jan. 2025), a new water heater, and a metal roof. Outside, classic brick and a welcoming front porch set the tone, while the covered back porch, complete with a sink, is ready for your outdoor kitchen. The mature yard features established trees and bushes, with deer wandering through daily. A shed provides extra storage, and a detached carport offers covered parking. Partially fenced and cross-fenced, it's ready for horses or other animals. This listing includes an adjoining parcel for nearly five total acres -- a rare blend of small-town convenience and wide-open country living, all within walking distance to downtown.
