Located two blocks from the retail, dining, and entertainment of downtown Royal Oak, this 1920 brick and cedar shake bungalow combines preserved period character with thoughtful mechanical and cosmetic updates. Situated on a corner lot with a broad front porch, the home retains the original architectural details while incorporating improvements designed to complement the era of construction.The interior includes three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and one half bath. Original oak flooring extends throughout the main living areas, while the rear hallway features slate flooring selected to remain consistent with the home’s historic character. The dining room includes a coffered ceiling and side street-facing windows that provide natural light and architectural detail. The kitchen has been updated with KraftMaid cabinetry, GE Café Series stainless steel appliances, and a dual-fuel oven—offset by the original maple floors. Bathrooms have been renovated using period-sensitive materials and finishes that maintain continuity with the home’s original design. Updated lighting and electrical systems provide modern functionality throughout. Additional features include a finished lower level, main-floor laundry, and a rear library/sitting room overlooking the backyard and garden areas. The fenced yard incorporates extensive perennial landscaping, sprinklers and soakers and mature garden beds that create private outdoor spaces. A detached garage with an opener is accessed from the side street, preserving the streetscape presentation of the home while improving functionality and access.
