Perfectly located in a quiet Royal Oak neighborhood just steps from Quickstad Park and Royal Oak High School, this lovely ranch blends 1950s character with modern updates. A red brick exterior, mature trees, tidy landscaping, and neighborly sidewalks set the tone for this inviting home. Inside, you'll find rich, oak hardwood floors, elegant crown molding, abundant natural light, and a spacious living room anchored by a luminous picture window. The adjacent dining space is ideal for entertaining, complete with classic wainscoting and charming coved ceilings. At the heart of the home, the updated chef's kitchen features granite countertops, white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances including a gas stove, built-in microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher. The undermount stainless-steel sink, and sleek track lighting & area for a buffet add much appeal. Each bedroom offers generous closet space, and the largest will accommodate a king-sized bed. The ceramic tiled bath is well-appointed with a shower/tub combo and vanity storage. Downstairs, the finished lower level expands your living space with a large rec room--perfect for a second family room, home office and/or gym. You'll also find an often-coveted powder room, dedicated laundry area, and ample storage. Enjoy outdoor living in the fully fenced backyard, which includes a spacious stamped concrete patio and plenty of greenspace for leisurely activities. Privacy and shade abound thanks in part to the arbor & pergola. The oversized, 2.5-car garage is often sought but rarely found. Recent, big-ticket updates include roof on the home (2023), furnace & central (~ 4-5 years old) & the home has been recently painted t/o. The prior owner was an electrician and enacted plenty of well thought out updates plus there are vinyl windows throughout. A wrought iron gate accents the lengthy driveway that's in great shape. Also near the Senior Center & several other parks. Don't miss this lovingly maintained & turnkey package! IDRBNG
