Step into a world where history and elegance intertwine at this iconic pre-Civil War residence, located in the heart of downtown Lewistown. The Benedict Mansion House, a distinguished city-colonial home, stands as a testament to the past and was once the residence of Lewistown’s first female Postmistress. Lovingly preserved, this historic gem, with its commanding presence on Main Street, offers a rare blend of timeless charm and modern updates. Inside, the grandeur of 14-foot ceilings and original plank flooring immediately captivates, while five fireplaces - three wood burning and two with electric inserts - and intricate, antique finishes evoke the feeling of a royal retreat. The home boasts numerous custom details, including bespoke curtains, carefully designed bathrooms, and handcrafted doors, all thoughtfully added to enhance its historic beauty. With 4 spacious bedrooms and 2.5 full baths, there's plenty of room to relax and unwind. The finished attic space offers additional versatility, ideal for a home office, playroom, or extra storage. The fully usable basement adds even more potential for living, recreation, or storage needs. The updated kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring a Butler’s pantry that offers ample room for culinary creativity and entertaining. Outdoors, the private, fully fenced backyard offers a peaceful oasis, ideal for relaxation or gatherings, with a lovely patio perfect for hosting. Off-street parking is no problem with a detached semi-enclosed carport included. This one-of-a-kind home is a must-see for anyone who appreciates rich history, luxury, and custom craftsmanship.
