As of February 2025Welcome to this classic colonial in the heart of Royal Oak’s Northwood neighborhood, offering endless potential for its next owner!

Inside, you'll find a bright living room and family room with a natural fireplace. The updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and newer cabinets. With newly refinished hardwood floors and new carpeting throughout, an office off the living room and a convenient first-floor powder room, the home is both functional and full of charm! Upstairs, the spacious bedrooms include a primary with a balcony overlooking the large backyard with patio—perfect for your morning coffee. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath round out the second floor space. In addition, there’s a finished third-floor ideal for a kid’s playroom or extra storage! Go to the lower level to find an unfinished basement including a laundry area with washer & dryer as well as a large extra clean storage area. Brand new main water line down the street, new gas lines, as well as all new curbs, approaches and street to be completed by November.
