About This Home
As of August 2021Welcome to 210 Benjamin where Victorian charm meets modern day upgrades. Not only is this home a total showstopper, it’s located right in the heart of Eastown close to shopping, restaurants, Fulton Street farmers’ market and several parks. The covered front porch is perfect for late night conversations, bubble blowing and coffee in the morning. Once inside, you’re welcomed with original hardwood flooring, a beautiful open staircase, cozy fireplace/sitting area and soaring ceilings. A heavy pocket door leads into a second living area with loads of natural light. The dining room and kitchen were fully remodeled in 2017 for an open concept flow with exposed shelving, stainless appliances, granite countertops, soft close cupboards and a large pantry. Both bathrooms were completely remodeled in 2018 with special care to preserve the large original built-ins. The upstairs boasts an uncharacteristically large landing, all four bedrooms, and full bath. A Home Energy Assessment was conducted in 2011 and demonstrated this home to be highly efficient. The charm extends to a quaint backyard with lush landscaping and two patios perfect for entertaining. The privacy fence and two-car garage are rare in this neighborhood and not to be missed.
