About This Home
As of November 2021Complete with white picket fence and tree-lined street, 1326 Benjamin is an adorable home just south of neighboring Ottawa Hills. While a smaller home, it shows larger than expected with an open floor plan connecting living, dining and updated kitchen. There's also a large screened in front porch for relaxing, a spacious deck in the backyard and a convenient 1-stall garage. This former 2 bedroom home currently has the 2nd bedroom wall removed to allow for a more open concept office or den usage (However, the owners have a quote to easily re-wall back in the 2nd bedroom if buyers prefer - see attachment). Further updates include replacement windows and 2015 furnace. Perfect as a primary home or rental property with current city cert through 11/2/23. Check out this small but mighty charmer! Offers not to be reviewed prior to 5:00pm Monday Oct 18th.
