Created by Tanner White and Towle Custom Builders, 203 South Benson is what happens when thoughtful design, exceptional craftsmanship, and a clear point of view come together. Custom built for its owners, every decision was made with real life in mind-from soaring ceilings and oversized windows to an open, loft-like floor plan that feels sophisticated yet remarkably inviting. At its heart, an extraordinary kitchen is anchored by an 88-inch marble island designed as much for gathering as cooking. Friends pull up a chair. Dinner spills into conversation. And when the doors open, life moves naturally outside to the heated pool, turf lawn, and built-in grill. Even the lower level was designed differently, with raised ceilings that make it feel like a true extension of the home. A full room over the garage with a full bath offers the flexibility of a fifth bedroom, guest suite, or office. Direct garage access, a Tesla charger, and front and rear garage doors add everyday ease. And perhaps the greatest luxury: leave the car at home. Walk to Sherman Elementary, the beach, and town. Modern, sophisticated, inviting-and designed around how people really want to live.
