Out on Washington Avenue in Bennett, Iowa, the world wakes up slow and steady. The sun stretches over 7.51 acres, light spilling across open fields, the morning air carrying the scent of earth and fresh possibilities. You step onto the porch, coffee in hand, feeling the kind of peace that only comes with space to breathe. Built in 1916, this home has seen boots lined by the door, people racing outside after breakfast, and kitchen tables filled with birthday cakes and late-night coffee cups. The hardwood floors creak just right, carrying the echoes of a well-loved past. The updated kitchen is the heart of the home, made for real cooking and good company. Main-floor laundry adds a simple ease to daily life. Upstairs, in the 3 bedrooms, dreams settle like a cozy blanket, wrapped in the familiar warmth of home. And tucked away on the main floor, a hidden gem—a cozy office with a secret sliding bookshelf door, perfect for work, reading, or even a private fourth bedroom. Step outside, and the land is ready for whatever you’ve imagined. A grain bin doubles as a cozy chicken coop where the hens cluck their morning gossip, and multiple water sources keep everything thriving. The three-car garage offers room for projects, tools, or that old truck waiting to be restored. With new furnace and AC installed, the big things are done. Now, it’s time to sit on the porch, watch the sunset paint the sky, and let the stillness wrap around you like a familiar song. This is home.
