The layout works. The lot is real. The details hold up.

At 2,267 square feet on 0.69 acres, 986 Benchmark Trl offers more space — inside and out — than most of what’s available in this price range in Belton right now. And it does it without an HOA.

The kitchen anchors the main level well: center island with a breakfast bar, stained cabinetry, and updated countertops that open directly into the dining area. The sitting room with tray ceilings adds a level of character you don’t find in most homes built in the last decade. The laundry room is actually usable — not a closet pretending to be a room.

The primary suite earns its name. Beamed ceilings, a large closet, and an ensuite with dual sinks, a jetted tub, separate shower, and built-in storage. Step directly from the primary onto the second-level balcony — that’s the kind of detail that gets remembered on a showing.

Out back, a covered deck runs the full length of the home — the kind you actually use, not just photograph. The yard is fenced, has mature trees for shade, and an irrigation system already in place. The detached garage gives you real flexibility for a workshop, storage, or parking. And the metal roof is only a year old, which matters when you’re budgeting for long-term ownership.
