5 E Lakeshore Dr, Rome, GA 30161

This house is the real estate version of a big hug...when you walk in it immediately feels comforting and wonderful. It's a 4-sided brick ranch in Maplewood with a pool. 4 bedrooms and 3 baths...3/2 on the main floor and 1/1 in the finished basement. Completely updated yet loaded with character and charm. Hardwood floors everywhere upstairs (except the bathrooms). Nice, big windows that flood the house with natural light. Crown moldings throughout. Painted in attractive neutral colors. The MAIN LEVEL has a living room with wood-burning fireplace...a bright dining room...a dreamy kitchen with stainless steel appliances (including an induction range), a stainless steel farm sink, white cabinets and granite countertops...a big room with built-in butler's pantry/bar (that's currently used as a second dining room for big get-togethers but could also be a family room)...an incredible sun room with painted hardwood floors overlooking the back yard and pool...plus 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. DOWNSTAIRS, which is accessed through a charming dutch door in the kitchen, are the 4th bedroom (which could be used as a rec room), a full bath and second laundry area. The OUTDOOR PROPERTY includes two decks (one off the sun room upstairs and one off the bedroom downstairs)...a beautifully landscaped back yard with garden and AN INGROUND POOL. Everything about this house is inviting and comfortable...the kind of house you look at over and over again online or in a magazine and wish it were yours.
