This city wide self-guided home tour sponsored by the non-profit Royal Oak Woman’s Club offers a rare opportunity to experience the craftsmanship, architecture and unique features of some of the most impressive residences in this popular community. With six stops, the tour showcases homes with varied themes and passions: a stunning multi-level Mission-influenced home, a classic Craftsman bungalow, with coffered ceiling, leaded glass windows, lovingly restored to its original beauty, a Dutch Colonial, decorated in traditional décor, a former commercial building converted to a one-of-a-kind, design-oriented 5,000 sq. ft. loft, with a show car displayed in the living space. The homes featured this year contain a number of award winners including: First Place: Interior Use of Tile from Detroit Home 2011 Design Awards, "Residential Beautification Award" from RO Chamber of Commerce and a Featured home in 2011 National Association of the Remodeling Industry Home Tour.
