About This Home

As of February 2018

Have 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.

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!
