A Rare Gem — Timeless Character Meets Complete Modern Renovation
Step inside this one-of-a-kind property once owned by the legendary Benny Kahn, now fully reimagined with a thoughtful top-to-bottom renovation. Every corner of this home reflects craftsmanship, quality, and attention to detail rarely found today.
As you enter, a welcoming lanai leads you into the spacious living room, where refinished original hardwood floors meet abundant natural light from the new hurricane-impact windows. Just beyond, the dining area and updated kitchen combine classic warmth with modern convenience — featuring custom cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and all-new plumbing and electrical systems. The primary suite is a retreat of its own, offering generous closet space, a fully remodeled bath, and serene views of the landscaped grounds. Two additional bedrooms, a flexible bonus room, and a dedicated office with preserved Pecky Cypress walls provide the perfect blend of functionality and charm.
A separate guest wing (or ideal mother-in-law suite) includes its own kitchenette, living area, bedroom, and bath ideal for extended family, guests, or private workspace.
Outside, enjoy new front and rear decks, a graveled driveway and walkway, and a beautifully designed outdoor entertainment area complete with propane fire pit. The lush mature trees, new gutter system, and spotlighting with integrated security cameras create both beauty and peace of mind.
Every major system has been updated for long-term comfort including a new engineered roof with high-R insulation, new HVAC and mini-split systems, new 300-amp electrical panel and wiring, and new hot water heaters.
This property is truly move-in ready and built to impress, combining historical significance with modern luxury in every detail.
