Absolutely wonderful 4-sided brick, 4BR/4.5BA cottage at The Village at Maplewood. Custom built by Jeff Brooks/Brooks Building Group, it has so many special features and upgrades it's hard to know where to begin. Everything about it is terrific--construction-wise, layout-wise and property-wise. It's the only cottage at The Village on a double lot. The only cottage with a lower level (that's finished to the hilt). The only cottage with an elevator. The only cottage with a 3-car garage. And the only cottage of its size (5610 sq. feet per appraiser--3376 sq. feet on the main level and 2234 finished sq feet on the lower level). The MAIN LEVEL includes a nice foyer that leads into an open concept kitchen/living/dining area that's so expansive and welcoming it literally stops you in your tracks. The great room has a vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace and built-in bookcases. The dining area has plenty of room to accommodate seating for 12 or more. The large kitchen--which is open to the living/dining area--features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar and pantry. A bright sunroom with radiant heated floors is located just off the great room. There's also a gorgeous, paneled den/game room with a fireplace, built-in cabinets and an indoor KitchenAid gas grill...and a screened porch overlooking back yard. The MAIN SUITE, which is its own wing of the house, includes two main baths--both with walk in closets with custom cabinetry and one with radiant heated floors--and a huge bedroom with sitting area. The secondary bedrooms are both a nice size...one has a full tile bath and the other has a half bath with full size, stackable Speed Queen washer and dryer. (There's also a big laundry room downstairs.) FEATURES throughout the house include 10'+ ceilings, double crown moldings, pristine heart pine floors, gorgeous solid wood doors, plantation shutters and wainscoting. The LOWER LEVEL--which can be accessed by either a stunning paneled elevator or rear stairs off the game room, includes a large bedroom with walk-in closet...full bath...office...fitness room...big laundry room with custom cabinets...craft room...mechanical room and tons of storage. The OUTDOOR SPACE is very private and includes a lower level patio and huge back yard (that's maintained by the HOA). There are two driveways...one at the front of the home and a second that leads down to a three car GARAGE. From a MECHANICAL STANDPOINT there are 3 HVAC systems, 2 electric panels and a tankless hot water heater. This is truly a one-of-a-kind home in which no attention to detail was overlooked, resulting in a comfortable home of the highest quality that's in impeccable condition. The Village at Maplewood is an attractive, well-maintained active adult community offering amenity-filled, maintenance-free living just minutes from downtown Rome. Monthly HOA fee = $819 which includes: water/sewer/trash pick-up; limited exterior maintenance (such as scheduled roof replacement, exterior painting, etc); landscaping; clubhouse/fitness center/pool/ tennis/pickle ball courts; termite & pest control and insurance on common elements.
