Monthly Estimate* How much can I afford?

This is your chance to own a piece of history, completely reimagined for today! Built in 1930 and completely renovated down to the stud frame! This charming Benson home offers the character and location of a historic property with the peace of mind of an essentially brand-new home. Originally a modest 2-bedroom, 1-bath, single-story residence, this home has been completely rebuilt with only the original frame remaining. This amazing transformation resulted in a very spacious 3 bed, 4 bath, 1 1/2 story residence that beautifully blends timeless charm with modern living. From the street, the home may appear modest. But step inside and prepare to be amazed! This thoughtfully redesigned interior offers ~ 2,006 square feet, with generous living areas and a floor plan that provides far more room and functionality than its exterior suggests. And virtually everything is NEW! This renovation includes a new roof, new windows, new HVAC system, new flooring, fresh paint, new cabinetry, granite countertops, all new fixtures, along with countless other improvements throughout the home. Even one of the biggest concerns with older homes has been addressed: the floor and foundation structure has been rebuilt and re-supported to modern construction standards, providing a solid foundation for decades to come. Located just minutes from downtown Benson, you'll enjoy the charm of a historic North Carolina town with locally owned restaurants, shops, community events and small-town character right outside your door. Historic charm on the outside, modern construction and style on the inside, and a surprisingly spacious home waiting to be discovered. Come see this transformation for yourself--you may be amazed at what is behind the front door!
