More land. More possibilities. More of the Laurel lifestyle. If you've been looking for a Laurel property with room to garden, build, create, and make it your own, 1640 Old Bay Springs Road deserves another look. Set on 1.26 acres, this 5-bedroom, 3-bath home offers something increasingly difficult to find close to town: space and flexibility. The home retains its original hardwood floors and other character, while important infrastructure updates have already been made, including replacement of the original cast iron plumbing beneath the home with PVC. Kitchen appliances, washer, and dryer remain. But the real opportunity continues outside. The property includes producing fig, elderberry, high-bush blueberry, grape, and pecan plants, giving you an established start for your own backyard orchard and garden. A 40' x 80' chain-link fenced garden provides an unusually large growing space while helping keep animals out. Compost bins remain, and a 10' x 12' metal shed provides additional storage. For the hobbyist, craftsman, entrepreneur, or anyone who simply needs room to work, the large wired shop is a major asset. Attached is an unfinished space that is already positioned to be finished as an efficiency apartment, guest space, studio, office, or additional living area, subject to the buyer's intended use and applicable requirements. This is not a cookie-cutter property. It's a home with land, established plantings, workspace, storage, and unfinished potential—the kind of property where the next owner can bring their own ideas and make it their own. Come see what you could do with it.
