930 E 2nd Street

A truly distinctive Downtown Royal Oak home, rebuilt from the ground up in 2013. Exposed brick, reclaimed wood, and custom judge’s paneling define the interior, paired with vaulted ceilings and an abundance of natural light. Every level has its own personality with thoughtful details. Open and functional first floor layout has generous living and dining areas, a granite kitchen with stainless steel appliances, plenty of cabinets, breakfast bar with seating, beverage refrigerator, and a coffee bar. The primary suite is private and well-designed, featuring two closets (one walk-in) and a beautifully finished bath with a free-standing soaking tub, oversized dual-head shower, and a separate commode room. Second-floor laundry with butcher block counter. Expansive third-floor bedroom finished with a dramatic reclaimed wood ceiling features a newer dedicated heating and cooling system and works equally well as a studio or flex space. The finished lower level includes a fifth bedroom or office, full bath, rec room, and excellent storage. Outside, the fully fenced backyard is a rare find downtown, with a brick paver patio and a stone pizza oven that makes the space feel more like a destination than a yard. All just blocks from downtown, parks, and expressways. (Fourth bedroom currently used as an office.) BATVAI
