**Open House - Saturday, Sept 19th, 12-2 pm** Welcome to 5203 Benson Avenue, an adorable Cape Cod filled with character, charm, and so much potential! Lovingly cared for by the same owners for the past 55 years, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers over 1,900 total square feet and is ready for its next chapter. With a great corner lot, fenced-in yard, flexible living spaces, and a standout four-season sunroom, there is so much here to love—and plenty of opportunity to bring your own vision and updates along the way. Step inside to a welcoming living room anchored by a classic brick wall and mantle with a wood-burning fireplace, adding warmth and character to the space. Continue down the hall to two nicely sized main-level bedrooms and a shared full bathroom, offering the convenience of true one-level bedroom living. Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms along with another full hall bathroom. Plenty of additional storage and closet space gives this level even more flexibility to make it work for your needs. The lower level is where the home really opens up. The kitchen features a gas range and wood cabinetry and connects to a dedicated dining area that flows into an additional living space—perfect for casual gatherings, a family room, or whatever suits your lifestyle. Continue down the hall to a convenient half bath, additional storage, and the utility and laundry area. But the space you may love most is just a few steps away! Walk up into the fully finished, enclosed sunroom—a bright and inviting extension of the home that you’ll want to enjoy year-round. Equipped with its own mini-split for heating and air conditioning, this is the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee and watch the birds, curl up with a good book, entertain friends, or mount a TV and turn it into your favorite everyday living space. Outside, the fenced-in yard offers plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors, all situated on a desirable corner lot. A dedicated paved driveway provides convenient parking. This home has been well loved for more than five decades, and now it’s ready for someone new to make it their own. Whether you embrace its existing charm or bring your ideas for updates and improvements, 5203 Benson Avenue offers a wonderful opportunity to create a home that feels uniquely yours. Great bones, plenty of personality, and lots of possibilities!
