1569 Benton Ave, Sioux City, IA 51106

With expansive views out of almost every window, this home is your private getaway from the distractions of the world. Located on a hard surface dead-end road and sitting on 11.73 acres of land, you will forget you are just minutes from downtown. A French Country vision was always the vision for this property and in 2012 it began. The main floor includes a large European kitchen with a curved brick ceiling, exposed brick "breaking out" of the walls surrounding the floor to ceiling window in the vaulted living room, stone walls in the dining room overlooking the treed backyard off the back deck, and the flowing river rock formation above the double-faced fireplace. Unique tile throughout the home makes cleaning a snap. As you move beyond the living room you will enjoy large, framed views of the serene, forested landscape, creating a seamless connection with nature. The expansive primary suite features one-of-a-kind textured walls you won't find anywhere else. The ceiling design, fireplace and large ensuite bathroom contribute to a true get away from it all, with a clawfoot tub, walk in shower, walk-in closets, a laundry room, and access to a spacious, private 2nd-floor room to be used as a personal office, or dressing room. Back in the main entryway, you will walk up a unique live edge staircase featuring wood brought in from the Pacific Northwest. At the top of this staircase are 2 large bedrooms and an artistic 3/4 bathroom. The addition of a railing will give you an extra gathering space overlooking the main level living room and leads out to the 2nd level balcony. The view of the sunset will take your breath away. The walkout basement features 2non-conforming bedrooms that are 95% finished, each featuring their own private bath.
