Welcome home to 318 N. Benton Avenue, a charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 1.5-story home that's full of character and ideally located in the heart of St. Charles. This home offers the best of both worlds—classic architectural charm combined with stylish updates that make it comfortable for today's lifestyle. You’ll absolutely fall in love with this one straight from the curb! Inside, you'll find beautiful original woodwork, tall ceilings, crown molding, 10” baseboards, transom windows, and plenty of natural light that give the home a warm, inviting feel. Not to mention, a MAIN FLOOR LAUNDRY! The updated kitchen features white cabinetry, modern finishes, and plenty of cabinet and counter space, making it both functional and a great place to gather. Gorgeous LVP floors throughout the main level and luxurious ceramic tile throughout the upper floor! The main level includes a spacious primary bedroom with ensuite, while upstairs you'll find two additional bedrooms, another full bath, and a flexible bonus space that's perfect for a home office, playroom, or reading nook. Another unique feature of this home is that a new buyer could opt to use the upper level as a complete primary suite if they so desired. Step outside to enjoy the fenced backyard with a private patio that's ready for relaxing, entertaining, or summer cookouts. There's also a huge, oversized, detached garage with extra storage and additional off-street parking, and boasting a 9’ overhead door! HVAC and water heater were installed in 2019 and a new roof in 2023! Refrigerator, washer & dryer are included with the sale! Did I mention there's a main floor laundry?! NOTE: The main level primary en suite was a separate rental unit with private entrance at one time, which is why it has it's own sink, stove and mini fridge. These can be removed and utilities capped if buyer prefers. Location is where this home truly shines. Enjoy all that historic St. Charles has to offer with Historic Main Street just a 9-minute walk (or a quick 2-minute drive) away, where you'll find charming boutiques, award-winning restaurants, coffee shops, festivals, and riverfront entertainment. Outdoor enthusiasts will love being only a 3-minute bike ride from the Katy Trail, offering miles of scenic biking, walking, and running along one of Missouri's most treasured recreational trails. Close proximity to HWYs 70 & 370, Lindenwood University, Ameristar Casino, Streets of St Charles and so much more! If you've been searching for a home filled with character, modern updates, and an unbeatable location, this historic St. Charles gem is THE one you won't want to miss!
