Fall in love with a truly special piece of Exeter's history at The Benjamin O'Neil House-a rare, beautifully restored late 19th century landmark where timeless character meets refined modern living. From the moment you step through the original 8.5 foot front doors, you're wrapped in warmth, craftsmanship, and undeniable presence. Soaring ceilings adorned with ornate medallions, rich red pine floors, and exquisite heritage trim tell a story of elegance and care. Sun-filled living and dining spaces invite both quiet mornings and memorable gatherings, while the professionally updated kitchen blends style and efficiency-perfect for everyday living and entertaining alike. Upstairs, three inviting bedrooms include a peaceful primary retreat with its own sitting area, offering a private escape at day's end. The spa inspired bathroom with heated floor, classic clawfoot tub, and seven foot glass shower adds a touch of indulgence, while upper level laundry brings modern convenience. The finished lower level is full of surprises: a spacious guest room, a recreation area with 85 inch screen for movie nights, an office with heated floor, and a hidden speakeasy style wine-making room-an unexpected delight for hosting. Outdoors, the experience continues with a private, resort-like setting featuring covered porches, a stunning 16 foot by 16 foot pavilion with a stone fireplace, hot tub, outdoor kitchen, and an expansive Wolf high density deck-designed for unforgettable four season entertaining. Just 40 minutes from Stratford or London, this property offers the perfect blend of small-town charm and convenient access to larger cities. More than a home, it's a lifestyle, a legacy, and a rare opportunity to own one of Exeter's true landmarks.
