A true walk-to-downtown (just 4 blocks) Royal Oak home on a quiet dead-end street!

This turn of the 20th century home was totally updated from top to bottom in 2003.

The inside has been redone with a modern touch, but the classic character of the hardwood floors and original woodwork has been retained.

The home still has the full covered front porch, a great place to relax on warm days.

The living room has hardwood floors, wide base moldings and a natural fireplace with matching side windows. A large coat closet with the original heavy wood door is right by the front door.

A doorwall to the rear deck was added to the dining room, but trimmed in the wood that originally surrounded a rear window. There's also an original bay window with a window seat.

The kitchen was gutted and now has ceramic floors with natural maple cabinets and granite countertops. A gas stove, fridge, microwave, dishwasher and garbage disposal are included. Off the back of the kitchen is the breakfast nook with another doorwall to the rear deck.

The steps to the upper level are original hardwood and the upstairs hallway has the original built-in linen closet.

The upstairs bathroom has been completely updated, with a spa tub, pedestal sink and ceramic floor and tub surround.

All three bedrooms have hardwood floors and restored original wood trim.

The full basement has plenty of headroom, is tiled and has enclosed areas for the utilities and laundry area. There's also another bathroom with ceramic floors and a shower.

The entire home is wired for phone, cable & computer network and has central air.

Outside is a nice yard with a 2.5 car detached garage with remote openers.

Rent is $1,950 per month and the security deposit required is 1 1/2 months.

Viewing is by appointment only and you can move in immediately.
