A cheerful galley kitchen keeps everything within reach, while the convenient laundry room adds everyday practicality. The primary suite is thoughtfully tucked downstairs, featuring a beautifully remodeled bathroom that blends fresh style with classic comfort. Recent updates completed by the seller includes: new windows throughout the entire home, two steel exterior doors with blinds, expanded backyard, freshly stained pool deck and oak wood floors inside, new paint, two new HVAC systems, new gutters, full owner's suite bathroom remodel, new water heater, and a new electrical panel mean you can enjoy the character of a vintage home without sacrificing peace of mind.

Set in one of Johnston County's most beloved small towns, this home places you just moments from Benson's growing downtown filled with local shops, restaurants, and community charm, while offering an easy drive to both Fayetteville and Raleigh. Here, you'll find the perfect blend of quaint small-town living and modern-day convenience -- wrapped in a home that simply feels like home.
