Description

Welcome to 234 Benezet Street — a rarely offered 4 bed, 2.5 bath home where the timeless charm of Chestnut Hill meets the desired upgrades of today. Situated on a one way street, entrance to 234 is through the original covered front porch, offering a hospitable landing space perfect for a glass of wine or a place to leave your stroller. Inside, brand new (and level!) white oak hardwood floors flow from the bright living room through a formal dining room providing both an open feeling while also providing dedicated space for entertaining and hosting. The heart of the home is further back, and visitors will be delighted by the fully updated, expansive eat-in kitchen. Sure to satisfy the cook in your family, the center of the kitchen is a massive handmade white oak island, surrounded by custom cabinetry, Café appliances (including a touchscreen oven), Carrera marble backsplash, and discreet under-cabinet lighting with hidden outlets. A whole-house water filtration system and reverse osmosis tap provide fresh, filtered water right at the sink. Filled with light and endless storage, the kitchen has room for a dining table and is completed with a half bathroom. The second level offers two bedrooms and a full bath with an extra stackable laundry for added convenience. The third floor has two additional bedrooms and a renovated full bath featuring white Thassos marble and a deep soaking tub. Comfort is year-round with central air for the main floors and mini-splits on the third, plus built-in flush-mount vents for a sleek look. The basement offers even more storage and another laundry area. Outside, a huge backyard boasts an automatic sprinkler system and a shed with electric — perfect for hobbies, storage, or a workshop. Updated wiring, built-in kitchen speakers, and high-end finishes at every turn make this home as functional as it is beautiful.

The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns.
