Step into Laurel history with this iconic Craftsman home, completely reimagined by Ben and Erin Napier on HGTV's Home Town (Season 6, Episode 9, ''Wraparound Porch''). Blending timeless Southern charm with thoughtful modern updates, this is more than just a house—it's a nationally celebrated landmark brought back to life for today's living. The heart of the renovation began with restoring the wraparound porch, once enclosed and now returned to its original glory. From quiet mornings to neighborly gatherings, this wide, welcoming space is the perfect introduction to the beauty inside. Soaring ceilings, original woodwork, wood pillars, and historic beadboard create a backdrop of character, while walls were thoughtfully opened to allow seamless flow between two parlors, the formal dining room, and the bright, airy kitchen. The kitchen is a true showpiece with handcrafted cabinetry, subway tile, concrete countertops, and a custom island made from reclaimed wood—balancing history with modern function. Custom touches, like Ben's oak console table, add one-of-a-kind craftsmanship you won't find anywhere else. The main level offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a luxurious primary suite and a private mother-in-law suite featuring its own kitchen, living space, full bath, and an oversized bonus room perfect for a media space, game room, or extra living area. Upstairs you'll find four additional bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a dedicated office. Modern updates, including new wiring, insulation, and a new roof, provide peace of mind while preserving the authenticity that made this home HGTV-worthy. From curated design details to the creation of a stylish wet room, every inch of this residence was carefully crafted for beauty and comfort. This isn't just a home—it's a story, a showcase of Laurel's heritage, and a rare chance to own an HGTV-featured masterpiece.
