About 1603 Bensington Ct
New Roof 6/30/2025. As you approach this one-of-a-kind home, you're immediately welcomed by beautiful landscaping, including a graceful weeping mulberry tree, a rare weeping Norway spruce hybrid, and a mature pear tree. The cedar siding adds natural warmth and charm as you arrive at the custom-made front door with decorative glass, a perfect entry to a home filled with craftsmanship. Step into a spacious open foyer featuring two custom cedar-lined closets with shoe racks. The foyer flows seamlessly into the living room where you"ll find vaulted ceilings with hand-installed individual wainscot boards, creating an airy, inviting space. Custom barn-wood window closures add a rustic touch while tying the open-concept design together. The kitchen and dining area are packed with charm and utility: quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry, wood-grain subway tile backsplash, and a century-old barn-wood wine rack that complements the other barn-wood accents throughout the home. A generous island anchors the space with a stainless steel farmhouse sink, stainless appliances, and custom pendant lighting-ideal for cooking, entertaining, or casual family meals. Upstairs, each bedroom features a unique, custom-designed closet. Bedroom 3 offers a cedar-lined closet, while Bedroom 2 showcases wide pine boards finished with a white chalk paint wash. Barn-style window closures continue the cohesive theme throughout. The hall bathroom includes a new showerhead, a custom-made vanity sink, and an Amish-crafted mirror from Lancaster, PA. The primary suite is a true retreat with a built-in fireplace, custom shelving, and a large custom built closet. The ensuite bathroom is a spa-like sanctuary with shiplap walls, a custom-built shower stall with dual showerheads, and antimicrobial, slip-resistant tile. It also features a Bluetooth speaker fan and a sleek countersunk medicine cabinet. The lower level features custom stonework showcasing the LOPI Cape Cod high-efficiency wood stove with push-button GreenStart ignition. Quarter-inch thick LVP flooring runs throughout this level, and custom ceiling boards add warmth and texture. Under the stairs, you'll find additional storage.
