728 N Washington Avenue Royal Oak MI 48067 MLS #20261043072

Just steps from downtown Royal Oak, this beautifully restored 1918 Craftsman blends over a century of character with the peace of mind of a complete modern renovation. Thoughtfully updated inside & out in 2020 — including new roof, gutters, furnace, hot water tank, plumbing, electrical, paint, landscaping, fencing, and more — this is the rare home where the charm has been preserved and the hard work has already been done.

Inside, the home is warm, inviting, and full of timeless details, featuring original wood moldings, refinished hardwood floors, wavy glass windows, enlarged bedroom closets, a beautiful wood-burning fireplace, and updated kitchen with quartz counter tops and baths designed for modern living. Every space feels intentional, comfortable, and effortlessly livable.

Imagine walk able mornings to the cafes and farmer’s market, strolls downtown for dinner & a movie, and easy 2-minute walks to the grocery store for full restocks or last minute items.

The professionally landscaped backyard feels like a private retreat in the middle of the city, complete with stunning Japanese Maple trees, a new sprinkler system, raised garden beds, exposed aggregate patio, and a brand-new engineered wood deck – all designed for gathering and relaxing. The charming open-air front porch offers yet another place to unwind and enjoy the neighborhood atmosphere.

Situated on a large 8,500 sq. ft. corner lot, the property also features a detached 2-car garage, a bonus second off-street driveway for additional parking, and an unbeatable walk able location near parks, tennis courts, the track, library, restaurants, shopping, and entertainment.

Homes like this rarely come to market — where historic charm, thoughtful updates, and an exceptional downtown lifestyle come together seamlessly.
