Hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and original 1925 character meet thoughtfully updated systems and finishes in this Royal Oak Colonial — just a short walk from the heart of downtown. The home sits on a treelined street in Watch Farm Sub and offers a covered front porch, a second-floor balcony, and a fully fenced backyard with a deck, giving the property strong outdoor living options on every level.

Inside, the newer kitchen has been fully reimagined with shaker cabinets, butcher block countertops, stainless steel appliances, a tile backsplash, recessed lighting, and hardwood flooring throughout. The layout flows naturally from the kitchen into a formal dining room featuring beadboard wainscoting and crown molding, then through an arched doorway into the living room anchored by a natural wood-burning fireplace with a white painted mantel. Hardwood runs continuously across the first floor, and the same warm wood floors carry through the second floor bedrooms, which offer large closets and generous natural light.

The bathroom has been updated and finished in tile. Major mechanicals have been addressed: newer high-efficiency furnace, newer water heater, new windows (2026), and professionally completed basement waterproofing. The partially finished basement adds flexible space for storage or additional use. A brand new two-car detached garage (2026) with a concrete driveway completes the package out back.

The Royal Oak school district serves the home, and the location puts parks, trails, restaurants, and shops within easy reach. No HOA. Move-in ready with the big-ticket items already done.
