Just beyond the city limits of Rome, Ga., is a dream home waiting for a family with elegance and nature in mind. Hardy Realty has a new listing at 2938 Old Dalton Rd. in Rome, Ga., that is a head-turning secluded retreat.
Immaculate is an understatement for potential buyers who are searching for a turn-key property. Hidden on just over 10 acres is this modern, craftsman-style home outfitted with all the amenities necessary for entertaining or taking in the sights and sounds of nature’s relaxing call to rest.
The 5,726-square-foot floor plan includes five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and a single half-bathroom, all under one roof. Built in 2005, this Hardy Home has been beautifully updated with high-end finishes behind the wood and stone façade greeting guests. The grand entryway welcomes visitors with an elegant foyer floor that mirrors the light allowed in by the double front doors. The two-story main living area is also flooded with light from large picture windows that feature the manicured grounds of the backyard, and the design is complimented by the warm refinish of the hardwood floors.
For the home cook in the family, the kitchen is equipped with chef-inspired touches. A large center island is perfect for guests who enjoy watching a dish come to life while enjoying a glass of wine. In addition to all of the perfect design elements added to this 21st-century culinary workspace, there is also a walk-in pantry where items can hide away until they are needed for your next dinner party.
Just off the kitchen is the place where a family can share time reading, playing a board game, or streaming their favorite rom-com in a more intimate living room. Continued are the views of the outdoors, making nature a welcome guest at all gatherings. All bedrooms have been reimagined for the modern family in need of private time to study or unwind. The master suite is flawless, offering a stunning master bath that beckons owners for a relaxing soak in the tub or a refreshing rinse under the rainfall shower head.
The main floor features continue with a second bedroom and an ensuite. An office, formal dining room, and laundry area are conveniently placed in the layout to provide a living space that flows and works well with the design of the home.
Three bedrooms, a wine bar, the home gym, and a bonus room live on the second floor of this estate. The options to spread out for peaceful moments are abundant, with the thoughtful touches brought to life in the design.
If outdoor living checks one of your boxes, then this home’s backyard playground is impressive. The well-maintained landscaping wraps a pool, outdoor kitchen, and spa, and the firepit area is perfect for fall evenings under the bright colors of mature hardwoods that surround the property.
Homes like this are hard to come by. The next family who takes the keys will be lucky to share this space with their loved ones and make lasting memories on the bank of the Oostanaula River. So, don’t miss your opportunity to own one of Rome and Floyd County’s premier properties. If you can find heaven at home, there is little need for a vacation.
