Property Description

Perched on a wooded hill in coveted Old East Rome, this French country 4-bedroom, 5-bath home offers something you almost never find in town: a nearly one-acre private forest only two minutes from downtown. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and surrounded by mature trees, it feels like a country woodland estate, complete with deer, foxes, and birds, yet sits moments from the hospital, schools, and restaurants. Thoughtfully updated for modern living, the home's main level is designed for entertaining with a circular, flowing floor plan that connects the living, dining, library, and kitchen spaces. A newly remodeled chef's kitchen becomes the heart of the home, with a large picture window framing the trees, a generous walk-in pantry, and abundant prep and storage space for serious cooking. The adjacent library with fireplace offers a refined, quiet spot for reading or work, while a separate media/theater room and additional flex space on the lower level create ideal zones for movie nights, workouts, or play, complete with a half bath. Upstairs, boast four oversized bedrooms rarely seen in newer construction. The primary suite includes two walk-in closets, an oversized soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. One secondary bedroom enjoys its own ensuite bath, while the remaining two share a spacious hall bath just steps from their doors. A convenient half bath on the main floor serves guests with ease. Above the garage, a heated and cooled carriage-house style bonus room connects to the primary suite via an exterior walkway and also has its own separate entrance, offering true separation for a home office, studio, or private guest space. Outdoor living is where this property really separates itself. Two expansive patios extend the living space into the woods: one set up for outdoor dining with lights and fans, the other ideal for larger gatherings or a fire pit just outside the living room doors. In summer, the foliage creates complete visual privacy so that you live in the trees rather than simply looking at them. Major systems have been updated in the last few years, including new HVAC units, a new water heater, and fresh exterior paint, offering peace of mind alongside character and charm. With its rare wooded lot, flexible spaces for work and life, and quick access to Rome's hospitals, schools, and downtown, this home is a private retreat for those who want quiet, beauty, and convenience in one address. Also... don't let the kitty cats out while showing.
