About this home

Some homes just feel good the moment you walk through the door and this beautifully updated Cape Cod in Royal Oak’s sought-after Northwood neighborhood is one of them. Impeccably maintained, thoughtfully updated and exceptionally clean, every inch of this home reflects true pride of ownership. Beautiful finished hardwood floors run throughout, while the wood-burning fireplace creates a warm and inviting focal point in the living room. The four-bedroom layout offers wonderful flexibility, with two bedrooms and an updated full bath on the main level and two additional generous sized bedrooms with another fully renovated bath upstairs. Whether you need space for family, guests, a home office—or a little of everything—this home easily adapts to the way you live. The spacious kitchen and dining room open directly to the backyard, extending your living space outdoors to a charming paver patio surrounded by pretty gardens and thoughtfully maintained landscaping. It’s the kind of backyard made for morning coffee, summer dinners and evenings spent outside. And then there’s the basement. Completely renovated in 2020, this meticulous finished space feels like a true extension of the home, offering a second family room and plenty of room to relax, entertain, work or play. Outside, impeccable front landscaping creates beautiful curb appeal, while a detached two-car garage adds everyday convenience. Major updates include a 2018 roof, 2021 central air, newer windows(some 2026) and a hot water heater(2023). Tucked into the Northwood subdivision near Jane Addams Elementary, parks and playgrounds, you’re also perfectly positioned between the energy of downtown Royal Oak and downtown Birmingham, with easy freeway access when you need it. Beautifully updated. Meticulously cared for. Warm, welcoming and completely move-in ready. This isn’t just a house that photographs well…it’s a home that feels even better in person.
