About This Home
As of February 2018Have you ever wanted to travel the world and never leave your home? Well you found the perfect home here. Travel thru France, Spain, London, Asia, Rome and Southern California. One of the previous owners was a well known sound guy in the music world of the 70's and has decorated the home as a reflection of his travels. Enter the basement grotto, with waterfall, pond wet bar, full bath with oneway mirror in the shower and reminisce about the crazy 70's parties which were attended by James Taylor and many other famous artist back in the day. With the several hidden "stashes" you know there are stories if these walls could talk. From the unique details, granite kitchen and newer appliances this home is a work of art. Be the keeper of these legends or remodel to make this home your perfect dream home within a few blocks of downtown Royal Oak. BATVAI. WELCOME HOME!
