Craftsman Home on South Okanagan Orchard

Welcome to 235 Middle Bench Road, a storied 1920s home set on 3 acres on the Bench, one of Penticton’s most sought-after locations. A legacy setting with no restrictions. Known as the Atkinson House, this Arts & Crafts–inspired colonial bungalow holds historical significance, without the limits of formal heritage designation, allowing for renovation, expansion, or reimagining to suit your vision! Built with materials drawn from the land itself, the home retains many original elements, including handcrafted stonework from Penticton Creek, a covered porch, and a built-in walnut sideboard. The main level offers the primary bedroom, a second bedroom, and a 4-piece bath, with beautiful living spaces reflective of the home's history. The upper loft can function as a self-contained, non-conforming suite, complete with its own entrance & kitchen - ideal for extended family & guests and the potential for added income. With sweeping views that extend across the orchard to Okanagan Lake and the surrounding hills, this stunning property is nestled within the vineyards and open sky of the Bench, reflecting its roots in one of the area’s earliest orchard holdings, while remaining mere minutes to town, beaches, and schools. The generous shop and garage support a range of uses, from continued agricultural activity to hobby or trade space. This property represents a rare opportunity to secure usable acreage in a premier location and shape its next chapter. Contact your Realtor® or the listing agent today for your private viewing.
