About this House

Welcome to 2249 Benjamin Avenue, a remodeled Cape Cod offering a versatile four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath layout in a highly desirable Royal Oak location. Fresh exterior paint and classic brick construction create inviting curb appeal, while the deep 50-by-135-foot lot provides a fenced backyard, mature trees and a detached two-car garage.

Inside, the main level has been thoughtfully updated with new flooring, fresh paint, new interior doors, a new furnace and central air conditioning. The bright new kitchen features white shaker-style cabinetry, light countertops, recessed lighting and new stainless-steel appliances. The spacious living room is highlighted by a fireplace, large front window and charming arched openings, while the adjoining dining room is ideal for everyday meals and entertaining.

Two generously sized bedrooms and a beautifully remodeled full bath are located on the main floor, creating flexibility for a first-floor primary bedroom, home office or guest space. The primary bedroom also opens to a private backyard patio, an inviting place to enjoy morning espresso or tea, read a favorite book or simply relax outdoors. Upstairs, two additional large bedrooms and a full bath offer excellent space and separation. The upper level has been well maintained and retains much of its original character, including the period-style bathroom, creating a nice blend of classic charm and updated main-floor living. The home also features older Pella windows that remain in excellent working order.

The large unfinished basement is ready for the next owner’s remodeling ideas and offers abundant space for storage, recreation, exercise, a workshop or future finished living area. Located just east of Woodward and north of 12 Mile, the home offers convenient access to downtown Royal Oak, downtown Berkley, Birmingham, neighborhood parks, shopping, dining and the I-75 and I-696 corridors. Well-regarded Royal Oak Schools complete this move-in-ready opportunity.

    "Our neighborhood is very eclectic...diverse...and I love that! I have a car, but it has super low miles on it, because I bought it shortly after we bought our house here, and while I do drive it regularly, most of the places I go are within 5 miles of home. I have wonderful immediate neighbors on either side, and directly across the street. "
