There is something charming about a home with good bones, a cute corner-lot setting, and the kind of potential that lets you imagine what it could become. This 3 bedroom, 1 bath home in Benton sits in a quiet neighborhood with a nice-sized yard, carport, and curb appeal that gives it a sweet first impression. Inside, the home has had some updates and offers a spacious living area along with three bedrooms, giving the layout practical space and flexibility. This property could be a great fit for an investor or a buyer who wants to bring their own style and ideas to life over time. One of the unique features is the enclosed former garage area. This space adds possibility and could potentially be redefined into storage, a hobby area, or another useful space depending on the next owner’s needs. It currently has dirt floors and access to the basement/cellar, so it is ready for someone with vision to decide what comes next. With its neighborhood setting, corner lot, flexible layout, and opportunity for customization, this home is ready for the right buyer to see the potential and make it their own.
