A prized Silver Hills property is on the market for the first time since its construction in 1950. Built by Shepherd and Rogers Construction Company for local fashion and shopping scion, Clarence Benjamin, this property has been home to four generations of his family. A white brick ranch, it sits peacefully on its own "island" adjacent to the neighborhood tennis court. Partial vistas of downtown New Albany and beyond can be viewed from the property. You'll find an ample amount of space for living and entertaining both inside and out with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and generous outdoor including a gorgeous inground pool. This isn't just any house, but a piece of local history and an amazing opportunity for a buyer with a vision!
