Royal Oak's leading home seller presents this handsome colonial that pairs classic character with thoughtful updates across three bedrooms, two full baths, and a private backyard made for entertaining. A covered front porch opens to a welcoming entry foyer with hardwood floors, leading into a bright living room with crown molding and generous front windows. The living room flows into a traditional dining room with a built-in window bench with storage drawers, then continues into an open kitchen anchored by a large center island, a farmhouse sink, subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and an exposed brick accent. The kitchen opens directly to a back family room with a vaulted shiplap ceiling, a river rock fireplace, and sliding glass doors to the deck. Upstairs, three bedrooms share a full bath with a double vanity, a tiled tub and shower with built-in niches, and a stained glass window. One of the bedrooms offers access to the attic space for additional storage. The partially finished basement adds a finished bonus room, a second full bath, laundry, and plenty of storage. Outside, the fenced backyard features a wrap-around wood deck, a hot tub, a separate sitting area, and a detached two car garage. Close to parks and schools with a short drive to downtown Royal Oak. Welcome Home!
