22 Benton Place

Located on the only private street in Lafayette Square and one block away from the oldest park west of the Mississippi River. It is within minutes to restaurants, a wine bar, coffee shop and local grocer. For information on this historic neighborhood search the Lafayette Square website. This three-story home went through a historical renovation in 2009. It has zoned heating & cooling, new windows, doors, flooring, TPO roof, tuck-pointing, and recently completed front/side yard landscaping & hardscaping. The electrical system was completely replaced with a 300-amp system. The plumbing/sewer systems were completely replaced, including a 2.5” water intake line which means that water pressure, even on the third floor, is excellent. The 140-year-old retaining walls were rebuilt in 2018. There are two private parking spots directly in front of the home and the 3rd phase of the backyard 37 feet X 27 feet is ready for you to customize. The house boasts 11 and 10+ foot ceilings with multiple original pocket doors and pocket shutters, each having been fully rebuilt. Both first and second floor fireplaces include original marble mantles and original decorative artwork. Unique Jefferson windows leading to a small balcony have been completely rebuilt. Additionally, period millwork, beautiful finishes and light fixtures adorn each room of the home. The kitchen is a chef’s dream. It was fully updated and equipped with an 8-burner Viking range and Viking wine cooler. Beautiful marble countertops were added along with a huge marble island and 2nd sink. There is a large walk-in pantry offering loads of storage space and a 2nd refrigerator. The main suite, on the 2nd floor, has a walk-in closet and a large private restroom. It features a steam shower & jetted tub, 2 fireplaces (one in operation), double sinks and private toilet room. The 2nd floor also includes two guest bedrooms, a laundry room and a bathroom. The 3rd floor is currently configured as a bedroom, Jack & Jill bathroom and library/billiard room, but can easily be used as another bedroom. Finally, a wine cellar in the basement can hold over 1000 bottles. Some of the furnishings may be purchased with the home, including large cabinets, rugs, a piano and pool table. This beautiful home in Lafayette Square is available for viewing by appointment only.
