A Rare Mid-Century Modern Masterpiece Step into a work of art. Designed by architect Nelson Benzing and featured in Mid-Century Modern Magazine in the 1970s, this one-of-a-kind residence is a true architectural treasure in Goldsboro's coveted Pill Hill community. With its Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired organic design, this home blends seamlessly into its wooded 3.43± acre setting, offering both privacy and proximity to the best of Eastern North Carolina. The home's 3,466 sq. ft. of living space showcases every hallmark of mid-century modern design: flat rooflines, clerestory windows, exposed beams, skylights, and original woodwork. A dramatic wall of glass frames the treetops, filling the expansive living room—complete with custom built-ins and a fireplace—with natural light. Throughout the home, preserved details delight the design enthusiast: parquet floors, indoor planters, and a retro kitchen with original metal cabinetry. With 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, the home balances artistry with function. The primary suite opens to a private deck overlooking the landscape, while the large * * screened porch—perfectly positioned to catch the morning sunrise— * * offers a serene place for entertaining or reflection. Brick walkways leading to the front door, a roundabout driveway welcomes guests, and a double carport sits tucked beneath the home's structure. Located minutes from Downtown Goldsboro, Seymour Johnson AFB, shopping, dining, and parks, and less than an hour from Raleigh or Greenville, this home is both secluded and central. Rarely does a property of this architectural caliber come to market in Eastern North Carolina. For the collector, the design enthusiast, or anyone who longs to entertain in a retro-modern retreat, 101 Cashwell Drive is a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
