Property Description
The charm you want. The features you need. And character you simply can't recreate. Welcome to 700 S. Benton, where the craftsmanship and personality of a classic St. Charles home meet comfortable, thoughtfully styled living spaces. Step inside and you'll immediately see what makes this home different. Original hardwood floors, rich wood doors and trim, glass knobs and vintage details preserve the home's history, while carefully selected finishes complement how we live today. You'll even discover a few unique reminders of another era-the kinds of details that give an older home its story. The kitchen brings together style and function with attractive cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, coordinating backsplash, newer LG appliances, a higher-end gas range, recessed lighting and distinctive fixtures. Ceiling fans and dimmers throughout the home add comfort and flexibility. Both bathrooms have been beautifully styled, with attention given to every selection. The main-level bath features striking marble-look tile, a coordinating vanity, fixtures and finishes. Upstairs, the primary suite creates a private retreat with its own spacious bath featuring a tiled walk-in shower, contemporary vanity and fixtures. Additional space beneath the architectural roofline offers possibilities for built-in storage, a dressing area or future customization. New double-hung, tilt-in windows offer easy cleaning, while the exceptionally clean basement provides additional storage and utility space. Outside, refreshed landscaping and landscape lighting complement the crisp white exterior and contrasting trim. Multiple outdoor spaces add to the home's charm, including a covered porch just waiting for your favorite chair and morning coffee. Off-street parking adds everyday convenience. Perhaps the best part is that the home's personality remains intact. Original wood floors, doors, trim and vintage touches come together with beautifully styled kitchens, baths, lighting and finishes to create something increasingly difficult to find: an older home that still feels like an older home-just thoughtfully brought forward. Come experience the details in person. This is one of those homes where the closer you look, the more there is to appreciate. Some images have been virtually staged.
