About This Home

As of August 2026

Just a short walk from the heart of downtown Royal Oak, this beautifully updated 1920 home blends timeless character with the conveniences that are nearly impossible to find in a home of this era. With five bedrooms, a spacious walk-in closet in the primary suite, an attached garage, and the ultimate mudroom, it offers the charm of an established neighborhood without asking you to compromise on the features today's buyers want most. Top it all off with a private rooftop deck off the primary bedroom—the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind after a long day.

Take a stroll downtown for dinner, grab coffee on Saturday mornings, or enjoy everything this vibrant community has to offer just minutes from your front door. Inside, you'll find generous living spaces filled with warmth and character, while thoughtful updates make everyday living feel effortless. The finished basement adds even more flexibility—whether you envision the ultimate movie room, home gym, playroom, office, or the perfect spot to gather for game day.

Homes like this don't come along often—a classic Royal Oak home that seamlessly combines historic charm with the modern conveniences buyers rarely find. If you've been waiting for a home that offers character, functionality, and an unbeatable location, this is it.
