About this home

Welcome to 235 Middle Bench Road, an exceptional 3.65-acre property in one of Penticton’s most sought-after Bench locations, offering remarkable space, sweeping views, and endless possibility just minutes from town. Known as the Atkinson House, this storied 1920s Arts & Crafts-inspired colonial bungalow holds historical significance without formal heritage designation, allowing the freedom to renovate, expand, personalize, or reimagine. Built with materials drawn from the land itself, the home retains original details including handcrafted stonework from Penticton Creek, a covered porch, and built-in walnut sideboard. The main level offers the primary bedroom, a second bedroom, 4-piece bath, and character-filled living spaces. Upstairs, the loft has its own entrance and kitchen and can function as a self-contained, non-conforming suite, creating flexibility for family, guests, studio space, or potential income. Outside, 3.65 acres unfold against panoramic views across the orchard to Okanagan Lake and surrounding hills, all within the vineyards and open skies of the Bench. A substantial shop and garage add versatility for agricultural use, hobbies, trades, storage, or future plans. Acreage of this scale, this close to Penticton’s beaches, schools, amenities, and downtown, is increasingly difficult to find. A rare opportunity to secure an extraordinary piece of the Bench and make it entirely your own. Contact your Realtor® or the listing agent today for your private viewing.
