2217 Guthrie Avenue

[OPEN HOUSES: Friday 6-7pm and Saturday 11-2pm ]This Royal Oak bungalow offers 1,069 square feet of comfortable, updated, move-in ready living, the kind of home where it's easy to picture yourself actually settled in. Spend summer evenings on the front porch with a drink or book in hand, or head out back to the fenced yard when you want a little more privacy. Inside, the 2020 kitchen remodel created a space that earns plenty of nights of good home cooking. Butcher block countertops, a farmhouse sink, subway tile walls, open upper shelving, and newer lower cabinets set the stage, while the built-in eat-in area with bench seating is exactly where friends end up when you're cooking. Pull up a chair and stay a while. When the day winds down, the living space gives you room to decompress. Cozy up for a Netflix binge or a quiet night in. The practical side is just as solid. The main bathroom was updated in 2017, and the mechanical list is reassuring: furnace and updated electrical both from 2017, plus newer water heater, windows, and siding. And the best part? A brand new roof and fence, both updated in 2024. A shed out back handles the overflow so the yard stays yours. Location-wise, you're sitting between I-696 and I-75 with downtown Royal Oak, restaurants, coffee shops, and nightlife just a bike ride or short drive away. The neighborhood has its own momentum too, with community subdivision events that have started bringing residents together throughout the year.
