About this home
Royal Oak living at its finest — welcome to 326 Walnut Avenue, a beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home that puts you right in the heart of one of Metro Detroit's most beloved communities. Inside, refinished hardwood floors flow throughout the entire home, freshly painted and move-in ready from day one. The updated kitchen is a standout, featuring white cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances — clean, modern, and built for everyday living. Two full bathrooms mean no compromises, and the finished basement with newly epoxied floors adds tremendous bonus living space, a dedicated utility and work room, and plenty of storage — a valuable find, in addition to smart home features in the upstairs living room and basement. Step outside to a fully fenced backyard with a large deck, a charming organic garden, and a 2-car detached garage. The details have been diligently maintained — hot water heater replaced March 2022 and brand new gutter leaf guards and downspouts installed March 2026 — giving the next owner genuine peace of mind. Located just steps from Vinsetta and nearby parks, with Royal Oak's thriving downtown just minutes away — packed with restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and live music. Add in the Detroit Zoo, the weekly Farmers Market, beloved annual events like Arts, Beats & Eats, and easy access to Birmingham, Ferndale, and downtown Detroit, and this location simply can't be beat.

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 $299,900, or $151 per square foot, 27% below the city median, and has been on the market 54 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 $6,096 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $4,213 to $5,749 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.
