Property Description
The main level welcomes you with an expanded foyer featuring beautiful Italian tile flooring with electric radiant heat that continues through the hallway, kitchen, and eat-in dining area. The remodeled kitchen is truly the heart of the home, featuring custom Amish-built cabinetry, pull-out organizers, an extensive butler's pantry, earth-tone granite countertops, and a large center island with seating for three. The kitchen opens to a bright four-season sunroom with matching heated tile floors and access to the covered rear porch. A formal living room, dedicated office, family/recreation room, mudroom, and main-level full bathroom provide plenty of flexibility for everyday living and entertaining.
The main-level addition offers an especially versatile fourth bedroom suite. Designed with accessibility in mind, this area features 36-inch doorways, a large closet, full bathroom with walk-in shower, and access to a walk-up attic with additional storage. Even a private 2nd entrance to the home, and exit to the back yard and deck. The partial basement, currently used as a home gym, adds even more useful space.
Upstairs, newly installed hardwood flooring extends throughout two additional bedrooms, dressing room, and the hallway. The spacious primary suite features crown molding, a walk-in closet, and a remodeled private bath with a double-width vanity, soaking tub, and decorative glass-block privacy wall. An additional hall bath was also remodeled and features ceramic tile, coordinating accents, and a skylight. The convenient upstairs laundry room offers private access and built-in storage.
Outside, the property truly shines. Multiple covered porches, a rear deck, decorative concrete and brick patios, and a large brick-paver patio with white pergola create numerous spaces for relaxing and entertaining. The backyard oasis features a 41' x 21' above-ground pool with a deep end, surrounded by an expansive composite-style deck and sun deck. A large 12' x 24' storage shed, raised garden bed, mature landscaping, and fencing complete the outdoor space.
Numerous major improvements provide added peace of mind, including a 2021 roof, skylight and replacement windows, 2024 expanded and resurfaced driveway and additional parking area, 2024 pool liner, and 2015 garage doors. The oversized two-car garage includes pull-down attic access, while the expanded side parking area offers room for a camper, boat, RV, or additional vehicles. With its combination of thoughtful renovations, flexible living spaces, extensive outdoor amenities, and pride of ownership, 36 Benson Ct offers a truly special opportunity in Dover. Also, NO HOA!
