Property Description

Custom Craftsman-inspired home offering privacy, character, and a wooded setting in the heart of Royal Oak. Set on one of Royal Oak's most desirable streets near Tenhave Woods, this 3,586 sq ft home delivers the feel of a private Up North retreat while remaining close to parks, restaurants, coffee shops, and neighborhood favorites. The forested lot is a major part of the experience, with mature trees, layered landscaping, a private backyard trail, fire pit area, large patio, and multiple outdoor spaces designed for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying the natural surroundings. A deep wraparound porch creates a welcoming first impression and offers a quiet place for morning coffee, evening conversations, or taking in the tree-lined street. Inside, sun-filled living spaces feature 100-year-old black walnut floors sourced from Missouri, cedar accents, custom millwork, interior doors with transom windows, and distinctive Craftsman and prairie-style influence. The chef's kitchen includes Italian granite, stainless steel appliances, illuminated glass cabinetry, and direct access to the outdoor entertaining areas. The main level flows beautifully for everyday living, hosting, and quiet nights at home, with rich natural textures that make the home feel both elevated and comfortable. The primary suite offers a gas fireplace, coffered ceiling, spa-like bath with Jacuzzi tub and frameless shower, and a peaceful retreat-like feel. Spacious secondary bedrooms and thoughtful storage add everyday function. The finished lower level expands the lifestyle with a private guest suite, second kitchen, full bath, and flexible space for a home gym, wellness area, media room, or extended living. Control4 Smart Home system, whole-home sound, and a setting designed to preserve and highlight the surrounding natural landscape. A truly special property for buyers who want character, privacy & walkable Royal Oak living without sacrificing space or serenity.
