About 212 W Church Street
Historic Benson Charm -- Completely Rebuilt for Modern Living Welcome to this beautifully restored historic home in the heart of Benson, completely remodeled to the studs in 2021. This century-old property blends timeless architectural character with the peace of mind that comes from all major systems being fully updated. During the extensive renovation, the home received all new plumbing (including sewer connection to the street), electrical throughout, HVAC, roof, insulation, windows, sheetrock, paint, flooring, and more, giving buyers the charm of a historic home with the reliability of modern construction. Original details were thoughtfully preserved, including tongue-and-groove ceilings, hardwood floors, fireplaces with historic mantels (non-working), crown molding, baseboards, and original door trim, while plantation shutters throughout enhance the home's classic Southern appeal. The main level features two spacious en-suite bedrooms, including a primary suite with a corner soaking tub, marble-topped vanities, large walk-in shower, and private access to both a sunroom and dedicated office space. The second en-suite bath features a beautifully restored original clawfoot tub. Upstairs you'll find two additional large bedrooms and a full bathroom, providing plenty of space for family or guests. The bright and spacious kitchen offers granite countertops, upgraded LG appliances (2022), soft-close cabinetry and drawers, ample storage, and a unique fireplace mantel accent that preserves the home's historic character. A hidden-blade ceiling fan light fixture was added in 2024. Additional features include Ecobee smart thermostats upstairs and downstairs, a laundry room with storage cabinetry and tile flooring, attic fan, and gutter guards. Outdoor living includes a flat lot, wraparound porch, fenced backyard (2023), working hot tub (2023) with reinforced deck supports, storage shed (2022), and an extended driveway with space for a future garage addition. Located just a short walk from downtown Benson, enjoy local restaurants, boutiques, coffee shops, and community festivals throughout the year. No HOA and no neighborhood restrictions. According to Johnston County tax records, the home has an effective age of 2005, reflecting the extensive renovations and system upgrades completed. ** Seller may pay some CC w/ acceptable offer / terms. ** Some antique furniture may convey if buyer is interested** Mounted TV's do not convey, W/D do not convey
