Description
***Up to $2,500 in closing costs offered toward closing with April Roberts at Revolution Mortgage. Flyer in documents.*** Once upon a time... a charming 1920s cottage began its next chapter. Just steps from the heart of Downtown Benson, this fully renovated storybook home blends the craftsmanship and character of a bygone era with thoughtfully curated modern finishes. The painted brick exterior, steep rooflines, and inviting front porch create unforgettable curb appeal, while inside you'll discover details that simply can't be replicated; from graceful archways and an original brick fireplace to thoughtfully preserved architectural charm. White oak LVP flooring flows throughout, complemented by a custom drop zone with a live-edge oak bench. The cozy front living room, anchored by an original brick fireplace, flows into the dining room and beautifully redesigned kitchen featuring white soft-close shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a spacious island with quartz bar seating that opens seamlessly into the second living area! Second living room is great for playroom, office, or flex! Both bedrooms are generously sized and full of their own unique character. The primary suite features a beautifully renovated ensuite bath with dual vanities, quartz countertops, designer tile flooring, and a stunning tiled walk-in shower. Outside, enjoy a private side porch, overlooking a flat backyard. Complete with a long driveway, two-car carport, and detached storage/workshop! Located less than a mile from Downtown Benson's restaurants, shopping, and grocery stores, with quick access to both I-95 and I-40, this home offers small-town charm yet everyday convenience. Whether you're searching for your first home, looking to downsize, or simply dreaming of a home with unforgettable character, this one is ready to begin its next story. Some homes are built. Others are remembered. This is one of them.
