About this home

Full of character and thoughtfully renovated throughout, this distinctive Royal Oak home blends original architectural charm with a cohesive, custom interior. Refinished hardwood floors unify the main living spaces, complemented by coved plaster ceilings, solid core doors, Baldwin hardware, and natural materials throughout. Originally built as a duplex, the home was converted by the current owners into a single-family residence. The kitchen features custom cabinetry and pantry storage, a Bertazonni range, Silver Travertine countertops, and a marble wall finish. Three bedrooms are upstairs, while a flexible first-floor bedroom and bathroom are tucked behind a pocket door for added privacy. The fully renovated lower level includes a second living room, office and creative workspace, custom built-ins, pantry, laundry area with farmhouse sink, and abundant storage, all finished with French white oak and ceramic tile for a warm, cohesive feel. Outside, the approximately 10,000 square-foot lot features new paver driveway, patio and walks, rebuilt back porch, and electrified aluminum pergola. Built new in 2023 and inspired by and English Garden Cottage, the heated reclaimed-brick outbuilding includes a skylite and lofted storage. Major updates include windows, updated electrical and plumbing, rebuilt chimney, new sewer line, whole house GENERAC generator, and new roof in 2024. Double sized lot.
