Built by George Herbert Benham in 1915, who worked for the Bighorn Lumber Company, this remarkable residence has been thoughtfully refurbished and restored to its original glory as a historic City of Sheridan structure. Step inside to a welcoming open floor plan filled with beautiful original woodwork and trim. Timeless details include charming window seats, a telephone niche, and warm, inviting living spaces rich with historic character. Mission and Craftsman-style lighting fixtures were thoughtfully selected throughout the home to complement the architecture and preserve the authenticity of the period. Antique period hardware can be found throughout the home, further enhancing the historic character and attention to detail woven into every space. The kitchen honors the home's history while offering modern convenience, featuring a restored 1934 Magic Chef stove, a 1931 GE Monitor Top refrigerator, and a Fisher & Paykel drawer dishwasher discreetly hidden behind custom wood panels. The original cabinetry remains intact and has been carefully restored, while the kitchen backsplash features classic subway tile that complements the historic character of the home. In keeping with the commitment to preservation, each of the 46 windows has been individually removed, repaired, and reglazed to maintain the integrity and craftsmanship of the property. An inviting eat-in breakfast nook complements the kitchen, creating the perfect space for an early morning cup of coffee, while the formal dining room, complete with the original built-in buffet, lends itself to more elegant gatherings and entertaining. The bathrooms continue the historic charm of the residence, featuring carefully selected period pieces, including beautiful clawfoot tubs that reflect the elegance and craftsmanship of the era. A huge basement offers endless possibilities for additional living space, hobby areas, or simply exceptional storage capacity. Even the outdoor landscaping has been thoughtfully designed to reflect the historic era of the home. The front yard features native, low-maintenance landscaping supported by a drip irrigation system, blending beauty with practicality. A one-car garage is complemented by ample additional parking access from the alleyway, offering flexibility for extra vehicles, guests, or recreational storage. Enjoy this extraordinary property as your private residence or continue operating it as a charming and successful historic Airbnb destination.
