About This Home

As of February 2025

Here we have a 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath Chalet in tax friendly Benton. Large sunny living room with vaulted ceilings flows into the kitchen and dining room elegantly. One bedroom on the main floor and owner suite with large bathroom on 2nd floor. You can enter the wrap around deck from the sliding glass doors in the living room and overlook the large and secluded 1.68 acre lot. The deck was recently stained and repaired. This wonderful home also has a heat pump to help offset oil prices and will also keep the home cool in the summer. A 3rd bedroom can be easily finished in the walkout basement.
