Just steps from Main Street, this downtown Royal Oak rental blends classic charm with thoughtful updates in one of Metro Detroit’s most walkable neighborhoods. Inside, you’ll find a spacious, light-filled dining area that opens to a well-appointed kitchen featuring butcher block counters and plenty of prep space - perfect for weeknight meals or hosting friends. Both bedrooms are oversized, each with a walk-in closet that could almost double as a dressing room. The bathrooms have been beautifully updated, and the home features original hardwood floors and Craftsman-style trim throughout, giving it warmth and character. The private backyard feels tucked away from the city without being far from it, and the large two-car garage offers plenty of storage. Lawn mower, all appliances and central A/C are included for convenience. Located within the sought-after Royal Oak school district and just a short walk from top restaurants, parks, shops, and the Farmers Market, this home offers comfort and location in equal measure.
