206 N Troy Street

Freshened up for immediate move-in, this four bedroom, two full bathroom home sits a few blocks off 11 Mile and Main in the heart of Royal Oak, which means most of downtown is yours on foot. Walk to the Royal Oak Farmers Market, the Music Theatre, the Comedy Castle, and a Main Street full of restaurants, bars, coffee, and locally owned shops. You can leave the car in the one car garage and still get dinner, a record, and a beer then see a movie without driving anywhere. Inside there is real room to spread out across two levels, with refinished hardwood and a gas fireplace on the main level, glass double doors out to a screened three season porch that becomes the best seat in the house from spring through fall, a bathroom with dark slate floors, and a top floor wrapped in a warm plank ceiling that feels more cabin than city. Washer and dryer are included, and there is a second refrigerator upstairs that can stay or be removed depending on what works for you. The Detroit Zoo's new Discovery Trail is home to burrowing owls, one of the only owls that lives underground in old prairie dog tunnels and hunts during the day instead of at night.
