About this home

Classic Arts & Crafts charm and thoughtful updates come together in this inviting four-bedroom bungalow, an easy walk from downtown Royal Oak. The classic front porch sets the scene for comfortable summer evenings, while the open floor plan welcomes you inside with gleaming hardwood floors and distinctive coved plaster ceilings in the living and dining rooms. Renovated in 2020, the kitchen features white Shaker cabinetry, 42-inch upper cabinets, and stainless steel appliances. The bathroom was renovated to the studs in 2018 with period-appropriate subway tile that complements the home’s character. Four bedrooms offer flexibility for sleeping, hosting guests, or working from home. Step outside to a huge back deck with a pergola and a fenced backyard offering privacy and plenty of room to relax or entertain. An exposed aggregate driveway and approximately 900-square-foot basement with potential for additional finished space round out this charming home.

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.

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 $8,486 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $5,864 to $7,570 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.
