Peaceful setting
Benton home has classic appeal, open spaces
Tucked away on a quiet street in Benton’s Northgate neighborhood, this three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home offers open, flowing living spaces and a family-friendly floor plan. The two-story abode rests on a 0.64-acre lot and features a large backyard that’s overlooked by a deck.
A shaded porch — perfect for a swing — welcomes visitors to the home, and sidelights flank the front door. Inside, the chandelier-lit entry and formal dining area, floored in polished hardwood, flows easily into the carpeted great room, which centers around a gas-log fireplace that has a tile surround and a painted mantelpiece.
Just off the great room, the wood-floored breakfast area has a bay window and is lit by a shaded chandelier. Also floored in hardwood, the kitchen workspace offers painted cabinetry with lazy Susans, a breakfast bar, a built-in desk, granite counters, tile backsplashes, a pantry, a refrigerator, a dishwasher, a microwave/vent hood and an electric stove with a smooth-surface cooktop.
The carpeted master bedroom is positioned on the main level and has a large window that overlooks the front porch. The tiled bath includes a single-sink vanity, a plate-glass mirror, studio lighting, a semiprivate water closet, a jetted tub, a separate shower and a walk-in closet.
Carpeted stairs lead from the great room to the home’s upper level, which has a large carpeted living space that has two windows and a walk-in closet and would be ideal for use as a game or play room.
There are also two carpeted bedrooms on this level, each with a walk-in closet, a dormer window with a window seat, and a dressing/study nook with built-ins. Both bedrooms, along with the upstairs living space, open to a wood-floored bath that has two single-sink vanities, plate-glass mirrors, studio lighting and a tub/shower combination.
A few of the home’s other amenities include a laundry room, a main-level powder room, crown molding, recessed and decorative lighting, ceiling fans, window treatments, a two-car side-entry garage and more.
