The updated kitchen and bathrooms blend modern convenience with historic appeal, while the oversized primary suite features double vanities, separate tub and zero entry shower and large walk-in closet. Major updates include new HVAC and plumbing in 2019, offering added peace of mind. Exterior has a metal roof, fenced backyard, multiple porches and decks, and a large screened-in back porch perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Conveniently located near downtown Rockmart, restaurants, shopping, schools, and local parks, this one-of-a-kind property offers the perfect blend of history, character, and everyday convenience.
