One of the prettiest houses in Rome is being offered for sale for the first time. 21 Rockridge Rd. is a gorgeous 4-sided brick, traditional Southern architectural style home, lovingly built by Rena & Harold Storey in 1953 as newlyweds and lived in by them ever since. Situated on 2.51 acres in College Heights, it personifies quality construction & attention to detail, both of which are apparent from the moment you step onto the wide front porch with its stately Ionic columns. It's a gracious yet comfortable 5+ bedroom/5.5 bath home, perfect for large-scale entertaining and smaller gatherings with family and friends alike. The MAIN LEVEL includes a welcoming foyer...formal living room with floor-to-ceiling windows and a fireplace (hardwoods under the rug)...banquet-sized dining room...handsome paneled den with fireplace...wonderful sun room with floor-to-ceiling windows on 3 sides and a brick floor...spacious kitchen with both a walk-in pantry and cabinet pantry with pull-outs...breakfast room with butler's pantry...large main bedroom with en-suite bath (hardwoods under the carpet)...a guest bedroom (or home office) with its own bath and a powder room. UPSTAIRS, which can be accessed by a beautiful spiral staircase from the foyer or rear stairs off the kitchen, are 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, including a second main bedroom. There are finished pine floors under the carpet in all 3 bedrooms (hardwood in the upstairs hall landing) and unbelievable storage throughout the second floor, including a huge cedar closet. A finished basement DOWNSTAIRS includes a large rec room with fireplace, laundry room, 2 additional rooms that could be used in multiple ways, 2 half baths and storage galore. A 2-car GARAGE on the basement level enters directly into the lower hallway. The GROUNDS are beautiful and include a brick patio/secret garden enclosed by a pierced-brick wall...lots of established plants and shrubs...and woods that provide privacy and low-maintenance upkeep. The MECHANICALS include 3 HVAC systems, 2 electric panels, a generator that serves the first floor and 2 Ring cameras for security at the front and back doors.
