What's special

ALL OFFERS DUE Monday (8/24) @ 5PM. Welcome to this charming Clawson ranch offering comfortable single-level living, a beautifully finished lower level, and the kind of backyard you'll want to enjoy all season long. Step inside to find three bedrooms, including one with direct access to the spacious back deck—perfect for morning coffee, relaxing outdoors, or creating a home office with its own outdoor escape. The main-floor bathroom has been recently renovated, and all appliances are included, making this home ready for its next owner to settle right in. Downstairs, the fully finished basement adds an impressive amount of additional living and entertaining space. A newly built full bathroom features a natural stone walk-in shower, while a sealed natural gas fireplace adds character and warmth to the lower level. The basement is clean and dry, with a portion professionally waterproofed by FSM for added peace of mind, along with a newer furnace and A/C (2021). Outside, the home delivers just as much. Great curb appeal welcomes you from the street, while the large backyard offers plenty of room to entertain, garden, play, or simply spread out. A generously sized deck extends the living space outdoors, and the 2-car garage provides additional parking and storage. And of course, you’re in Clawson...Big enough to have great restaurants, neighborhood bars, coffee shops, parks and community events, but small enough that it still feels like an actual hometown. Downtown Clawson is close by, Clawson City Park is a local favorite, and you’re just minutes from Royal Oak, Birmingham, Troy and pretty much anywhere else you need to be. 420 S. Manitou offers the simplicity of ranch living, considerably more space than you might expect, a great backyard and a location that makes it easy to enjoy everything Clawson has to offer. Come take a look—you may end up staying awhile.
