434 Hendrie Boulevard

Description

This home is known and loved by many as the quintessential Royal Oak home. This is the home many people dream of owning when they pass by. In addition to its curb appeal, this home has been updated while retaining its essential charm and character. I believe this was the first home in the Royal Oak area to have a four-car attached garage, and it may be even more helpful now than when it was built; the driveway has a full paver set, leading to that spectacular garage. The home has beautiful large rooms, each with its own special, curated character. The first floor has two areas that could be used as home offices or for any modern need. The formal dining room is huge, and the updated kitchen is large and spacious with all the storage you could dream of. Loads of storage and extra-wide hallways on the second floor. So many special details are included: A balcony off of one of the bedrooms; a first-floor half bath with basket-weave ceramic tile floors; stained-glass windows; an atrium with ceramic tile, recessed lighting, along with direct access to the living room and backyard patio; a massive dining room with two walls of windows overlooking a second patio and walkway; living room with a gas fireplace with tile surround and built-in display case; separate workstation in the kitchen with beautiful glass-front cupboards; a great pantry for storage; ceramic backsplash; leaded glass doors; I could go on and on about the period accents in this home! It is just GORGEOUS! Within walking distance of downtown Royal Oak and on one of the city's top three streets. Please note: pre-approved buyers only with signed buyer's agency documents will be considered.
