111 Carriage Way Ln., Rome, GA 30161

Terrific 2BR/2.5BA cottage in The Village at Maplewood, custom built by Jeff Brooks/Brooks Building Group. Located on a corner lot, which provides incredible natural light, it's the only 4-sided brick cottage at The Village. It's also the only cottage that has hydronic in-the-floor radiant heat as well as central forced air heat/cooling. (Hydronic heating is energy efficient, consistent and "clean.") A welcoming front porch opens to a nice foyer (with coat closet) and then to a large, bright, open concept living room/dining area. The living room has a vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace, built-in bookcase and hardwood floors. The dining area has a tray ceiling and plenty of room for a big dining table, china cabinet, etc. Off the dining area is a large kitchen with solid maple cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry (almost unheard of at The Village) and a window above the sink looking out to the back yard. A cheery sunroom behind the dining area opens to a private back yard with a patio that has a retractable awning. The spacious main bedroom has a tray ceiling, hardwood floors and three closets. The main bath features a separate tub, tile shower, double vanity with solid maple cabinets and a water closet. Down a hallway (beyond a mechanical closet and the laundry room) is the second bedroom, which is also a nice size and has its own en-suite tile bath with a solid maple cabinet. A convenient drop zone, with built-in shelf, is just inside the door to the zero-entry attached two-car garage that has both a large storage room and pull-down attic storage. Features that extend throughout the home include 9' ceilings, deep crown molding and plantation shutters. This is a really great, well-maintained cottage that has many unique features.
