The Benton House
Built in 1839 less than a quarter of a mile from the southern banks of the Alabama River, 216 Washington Street is as authentic as the town that surrounds it.
The house sits atop nearly one acre which includes a large backyard, a detached carport with a small apartment that was once an old doctor's office.
The house's exterior features full-length front and back porches, and 4 chimneys, and iconic cupola atop. Inside, the 3 Bed/2BR home is original from the floors to the furniture, yet it has been updated for modern convenience including gas stove top and oven, central AC, and gas heat.
The town on Benton was a major stop along the Alabama River during the Steamboat Era. There is a public boat ramp into the Alabama River that is less than one mile away from the house, allowing for boating, fishing, and recreation along one of Alabama's last wild rivers.
