Inviting bungalow that lives larger than you’d expect, offering an open floor plan, a generous kitchen, and a fantastic walkable location. A large covered front porch is the perfect spot to wave to the neighbors before stepping into a bright living room with crown molding, arched entryways, and a big picture window. The open layout flows into the formal dining room and a large kitchen with plenty of counter space, shaker-style cabinetry, a subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a peninsula with room to gather, and a walk-in pantry. Just off the dining room, a nice-sized office with a door wall leads out to the rear porch, patio, and private fenced backyard. A main-floor bedroom with a built-in closet system and a full bath complete the first level. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is a cozy retreat with vaulted ceilings, built-in niches, and a walk-in closet, plus an unfinished attic for extra storage. The full basement offers laundry, glass block windows, and tons of open space to make your own. A detached two-car garage rounds it all out. Walk to Westborn, Woodward, and downtown Royal Oak. Welcome Home!
