Priced below market value and remodeled to the studs in 2021, this Benson home offers historic charm with modern peace of mind. Per Johnston County records, the home has an effective age of 2005 due to its extensive renovation and system updates. Behind the walls, everything is new—plumbing (connected to the street), electrical, HVAC, roof, windows, insulation, and more—offering true peace of mind, while original features like hardwood floors, tongue-and-groove ceilings, fireplaces with historic mantels, and detailed trim preserve the home's character. The main level offers two spacious en-suite bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite with soaking tub, marble-topped vanities, oversized walk-in shower, and private access to a sunroom and dedicated office, plus two additional bedrooms and a full bath upstairs for flexible living. A bright, character-filled kitchen features granite countertops, upgraded LG appliances (2022), soft-close cabinetry, and a preserved mantel detail, complemented by Ecobee thermostats and a spacious laundry room. Step outside to a flat backyard ready for a pool or entertaining, complete with mature pecan and walnut trees, a fenced yard (2023), working hot tub (2023) with reinforced deck, storage shed (2022), and an extended driveway with room for a future garage—all just a short walk to downtown Benson, with no HOA.
