Live in east downtown Royal Oak's neighborhood, a 15-minute walk (approx. 8-10 blocks) from your front door takes you to all of the stores, coffee shops, library, restaurants, pubs, farmer's market, Royal Oak Music Theater, the Henry Ford Medical Center, and other businesses. The home is far enough away from the noise and parking congestion, yet close enough so that you rarely have to drive into town. Very convenient access to I-75 and I-696 (without having to deal with The Woodward/Main St. ramps) allows you to get anywhere in metro Detroit with ease. You are just a few miles down Woodward Ave. and Beaumont Hospital. Easy access to Arts, Beats & Eats, Woodward Dream Cruise, etc. without having to drive! Newer carpet in the bedrooms and basement (2020), new vinyl floor has been installed in the eat-in kitchen (2020), new refrigerator, 95% efficiency furnace, and new central air unit ensure both energy efficiency and lower bills (all 2020.) The partially finished basement with 1/2 bath serves as an extension for a living-room or entertaining area, this is very useful due to the smaller house size. About the house: It is a 1940s ranch with original windows (double-hung glass windows with storm windows), small/cozy rooms, and small closets. The 2 1/2 car garage has a workbench, electricity, and garage door opener and it feels almost as big as the house. In the past we used the garage for birthday parties and social gatherings with our friends as the side street is low traffic and cars rarely drive through. Albeit a small house, it is perfect for one or two people that make a house their home, we lived in this house for seven years and moved on once we had our first child and I started working from home. You will notice that this doesn't feel like a rental, it feels like a turnkey, inviting home that simply requires the addition of your personal things! There is a paver patio on the back of the house with plenty of space for a BBQ or entertaining, walk further back behind the garage and there is another smaller/quiet part of the back yard with shade provided by a collection of trees around the perimeter of the fenced-in yard. The hot tub on the back patio is no longer functional, it currently serves as a good table for outdoor gatherings, I can also have the unit completely removed.
