About this home

Some homes just feel more cared for, and this is one of them. Offered for the first time in almost 40 years, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath Royal Oak ranch has been lovingly maintained, with pride of ownership that starts at the curb and carries throughout. A welcoming covered front porch leads into a spacious living room with plenty of space to gather and unwind. The kitchen features ample cabinetry, new flooring, brand new disposal and space for a casual bite, while the adjoining dining area makes hosting easy. Just beyond, a sunroom with a vaulted ceiling and windows all around offers a bright, comfortable place to enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the backyard. Brand-new carpet and doors throughout complement the care invested in the home over the years, including a newer furnace (2023), A/C (2021), and roofs on both the house and detached garage (2023). Wallside windows with transferable warranties, B-Dry basement waterproofing with a lifetime warranty, and a generator that performs weekly self-checks add to the extensive list of features (see complete list attached). Downstairs, the partially finished basement provides additional space to relax, work out, or enjoy your hobbies, along with generous storage. Outside, the deep backyard sits on an extra-wide lot with privacy fencing & gazebo included, perfect for enjoying all four seasons Michigan has to offer. Located within walking distance of Addams Elementary & Woodward Ave, and just a short drive from downtown Royal Oak, Birmingham, I-75 and I-696, you can be close to everything. This well-loved home is ready for new memories. Schedule your showing today!

How it compares in Royal Oak

Over the last 90 days, 257 homes sold in Royal Oak for a median of $350,000, about $206 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 12 days. This home is listed at $374,900, or $215 per square foot, 4% above the city median, and has been on the market 13 days. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Royal Oak sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.

Property taxes for a new owner

The current owner pays about $4,577 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $4,578 to $7,187 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 37.96 mills for Royal Oak City and Royal Oak schools, plus the 1% administration fee. Michigan resets a home's taxable value the year after it sells, so the seller's bill isn't a good number to budget with. See the math.
