Wonderful, completely renovated cottage located beneath the City Clock in historic downtown Rome. Literally every inch of the house and grounds have been touched...lovingly and painstakingly...and the result is a charming, comfortable, inviting home that's respectful of its history yet updated for today's lifestyle. Abundant character and tasteful details include a wrap-around front porch for reading, relaxing and visiting with friends...11' ceilings...deep crown moldings...beautiful heart pine floors...huge pocket doors...4 fireplaces (2 working and 2 decorative) and nice natural light (provided by double pane windows). The MAIN FLOOR includes a large living room with decorative fireplace...dining room with working gas fireplace that comfortably seats 12+...den with working gas fireplace...big, terrific kitchen with an island, gas cooktop, double oven, Corian countertops, good size pantry and a huge window overlooking the back patio...two large bedrooms...two full baths...a hallway that's practically a room in itself and a laundry room/mudroom. Off the kitchen are steps leading UPSTAIRS to a bonus area that has been largely finished (floored/walled/electricity) which could be a home office, playroom or third bedroom. The GROUNDS include a brick patio that's perfect for entertaining, mature plantings and an attractive workshop with a little outside sitting area...PLUS...gated, off-street parking. The house was re-wired, re-plumbed and all mechanicals were replaced during the 2005 renovation. A new roof was installed in 2019. All in all, this is a very special home in one of Rome's most coveted locations--Between the Rivers.
