Large windows throughout the main level bring in an abundance of natural light and enhance the home's warm, welcoming feel. Positioned at the center of the home, the kitchen serves as a natural gathering place, connecting the surrounding living and entertaining areas. With its timeless design and stainless-steel appliances, the kitchen is both attractive and functional while offering future owners the opportunity to make it their own over time. The main level also offers two nicely sized bedrooms and a full bath, providing comfortable accommodations for family, guests or a dedicated office space. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite provides a private retreat along with a separate sitting area currently used as a home office, offering valuable flexibility without sacrificing one of the home's three bedrooms. A detached flex space with separate storage adds even more versatility. With finished walls, flooring, electricity, heating, and cooling, this space offers a variety of possibilities for a home office, workout area, studio, hobby room or potential guest overflow quarters while retaining valuable storage and utility. Enjoy the character of an established neighborhood while remaining close to the energy of NoDa and Charlotte's vibrant urban lifestyle right nearby. Convenient to the LYNX Blue Line, 3405 Benard Avenue offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the charm and character of an older Charlotte home without sacrificing the square footage and flexibility that can be difficult to find in this location.
