Home Details for 700 S Benton AVE

The charm you want. The updates you need. And character you simply can’t recreate. Welcome to 700 S. Benton, where the craftsmanship and personality of a classic St. Charles home meet an impressive list of thoughtful updates. Step inside and you’ll immediately see what makes this home different. Original hardwood floors, rich original doors and trim, glass knobs and wonderful vintage details have been preserved, while the spaces around them have been beautifully transformed for today. You’ll even discover a few unique reminders of another era—the kind of details that give an older home its story. The renovated kitchen brings together style and function with updated cabinetry, Silestone countertops, backsplash, higher-end gas range, LG appliances, updated fixtures and lighting. Recessed lighting, ceiling fans and dimmers add comfort and flexibility throughout the home. Both bathrooms have been beautifully renovated—and neither feels like an afterthought. The main-level bath features striking marble-look tile, updated vanity, fixtures and finishes. Upstairs, the redesigned primary suite creates a private retreat with its own spacious bath featuring tiled tub/shower, updated vanity and fixtures, plus additional space beneath the roofline offering possibilities for storage, dressing space or future customization. The improvements go well beyond what you see in the photos. New double-hung tilt-in windows provide easy cleaning and efficiency. Electrical improvements include replacement of some knob-and-tube wiring and GFCI outlets in the basement, along with updated lighting and fixtures. The basement itself is exceptionally clean and offers additional storage, and utility space. Outside, refreshed landscaping and landscape lighting complement the crisp white exterior and contrasting trim. Multiple outdoor spaces add to the home's charm, including a covered porch that's just waiting for your chair and morning coffee. Off-street parking adds everyday convenience. And perhaps the best part? This renovation didn't erase the home's personality. Original wood floors, doors, trim and vintage touches remain alongside the improvements, creating something increasingly difficult to find: an older home that still feels like an older home—just beautifully brought forward. From the renovated kitchen and baths to the windows, electrical improvements, lighting, appliances, flooring and landscaping, so much has already been done. Exceptionally clean, carefully updated and truly move-in ready. Come see the details in person. This is one of those homes where the closer you look, the more you appreciate what has been done.
