There are renovations...and then there are forever-home renovations. This timeless 1920's Craftsman was thoughtfully rebuilt from the studs in 2019 with the intention of being the owners' forever home, preserving its historic charm while incorporating the comfort, efficiency, and convenience of modern living. Completed with permits by licensed professionals, the extensive renovation included basement waterproofing, all new plumbing, all new electrical, Marvin windows, recessed lighting throughout, and a redesigned floor plan built for long-term living. The custom Omega kitchen features premium cabinetry, granite countertops, a hammered copper farmhouse sink, gunmetal stainless-steel appliances, double wall ovens, and an oversized center island with cooktop and vent hood. A rare feature for a Craftsman, the spacious first-floor primary suite was designed for aging in place and includes a private ensuite bath, oversized walk-in closet, and sliding glass doors overlooking the backyard. The dining room also opens outdoors, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. The main floor also offers first-floor laundry, a mudroom, generous closet space, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and beautifully finished ceramic tile baths. Upstairs you'll find three charming bedrooms with restored original hardwood floors, Marvin windows, and an updated full bath featuring designer glass herringbone tile. Situated on an exceptional double lot, the backyard feels like your own private park with mature trees, wooded views, established perennials, mulberry trees, grapevines, and expansive green space. The inviting covered front porch is the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee or unwind in the evening. The clean basement is plumbed for a future bathroom and features convenient Bilco-style exterior access. Additional improvements: new roof (2025), fresh exterior paint 2026. Located just one block from Clawson Schools, two blocks from Clawson City Park, and just minutes from downtown Clawson.
