Unbeatable charm meets incredible livability in this move-in-ready three-bedroom, 2-full-bath bungalow, perfectly situated just minutes from the vibrant heart of downtown Royal Oak. Picture-perfect curb appeal with a large, covered front porch brings you into a bright, open-concept floor plan that seamlessly blends updates with classic architectural details, including stunning cove ceilings and gleaming hardwood floors and a huge picture window. The inviting living room, anchored by an elegant electric fireplace with a slate-stone surround, flows effortlessly into the dining area and sleek modern kitchen. Built for daily life and entertaining, the kitchen boasts stainless-steel appliances and a cutout that gives an open flow. 2 generously sized main-floor bedrooms share a meticulously maintained and highly sought-after vintage-tiled full bathroom. Upstairs, you will discover a rare and highly coveted primary suite that serves as your own private retreat. Offering a massive boost in value, this upper level boasts a true en-suite bathroom, an absolute premium find in a story-and-a-half home.
