Benson, NC 27504

Step into the perfect blend of historic character and modern comfort in this beautifully restored Benson home, completely rebuilt to the studs in 2021. Every inch has been carefully reimagined to preserve its original charm while delivering the reliability and efficiency today's buyers expect. Behind the walls, everything is new--plumbing (including connection to the street), electrical, HVAC, roof, insulation, windows, sheetrock, flooring, and more--offering true peace of mind without sacrificing personality. Original features shine throughout, including tongue-and-groove ceilings, rich hardwood floors, detailed crown molding, classic fireplaces with historic mantels, and original door trim. Plantation shutters add a warm Southern touch, creating a home that feels both timeless and inviting. The main level offers two spacious en-suite bedrooms, including a stunning primary suite with a soaking tub, marble-topped vanities, oversized walk-in shower, and private access to a sunroom and dedicated office--perfect for both relaxing and working from home. The secondary suite features a beautifully restored clawfoot tub, adding to the home's historic appeal. Upstairs, you'll find two additional generously sized bedrooms and a full bath, providing flexible space for guests, family, or hobbies. The bright, open kitchen is both functional and full of character, featuring granite countertops, upgraded LG appliances (2022), soft-close cabinetry, and a unique preserved mantel detail that ties the home's history into everyday living. A hidden-blade ceiling fan (2024) adds a sleek, modern touch. Additional upgrades include Ecobee smart thermostats on both levels, a spacious laundry room with storage and tile flooring, attic fan, and gutter guards. Outside, enjoy a flat lot with a welcoming wraparound porch, fenced backyard (2023), working hot tub (2023) with reinforced deck, storage shed (2022), and an extended driveway with room to add a future garage. All of this just a short walk to downtown Benson, where you can enjoy local dining, coffee shops, boutiques, and year-round community events. No HOA. No neighborhood restrictions. Just character, convenience, and modern peace of mind. Per Johnston County tax records, the home reflects an effective age of 2005 due to its extensive renovation and system updates.
