It is delightful to find a home originally built in 1945 that has been remodeled and updated over the decades so it continues to be a treasure. Rome, Georgia is a beautiful setting for a home that has stood the test of time. Trees and rolling hills are everywhere on the multi-acre property. The scenery is extremely tranquil and the estate at 111 Sequoia Drive is stunning.
Behind the detailed ironwork on the front gates an intricate paver drive leads to the Tudor-style home made of stone and a six car garage. The exterior elements all feel perfectly in tune with nature. The gardens and landscaping all provide serenity to the estate.
Standing on the front stoop gazing at an extra wide arched front door with beautiful wood panels and arched glass surround, it is apparent quality materials and craftsmanship have gone into updating. The entry foyer is like none you have seen before. Mable and hardwood flooring are eye-catching next to custom wall finishes. The walls are a focal point with gilded designs. The ironwork lining the staircase takes on a softer side with curved and scrolling. The design is harmonious with the custom wall finish.
The kitchen has commercial quality appliances encompassed by antiqued finished ivory and black cabinetry. All the appliances are state-of-the art and restaurant quality. Any trained chef would find everything they need here. It is truly astonishing. The woodwork prevents the space from feeling like you are in a restaurant kitchen. The designer should be applauded for working such high quality products into the kitchen of the home. Whether you are the chef in your life or you keep someone on your staff to prepare your meals, this kitchen has everything you could dream of.
The dining room is expansive. The current table in the room seats 20! Two crystal chandeliers hang above the table. Built-in glass cabinets and columns painted gold and black add elegance to the space. The formal space is wonderful for entertaining. It would be difficult to find a facility to host a large party that would be this elegant and warm. With the professional kitchen and a full wine cellar everything you need on hand for the perfect event is already on your property! Why go anywhere else?
The master bedroom is on the main and while it is remarkable, the master bath is captivating. Marble floors, shower and tub surround are just the beginning. Stained cabinetry and copious space are also secondary to the awe-inspiring stained-glass dome that is central in the room. What a breath-taking sight of golden tones, reds, greens and blues to begin each day!
The home is well-equipped for entertaining whether it is for work or pleasure. There is 20 person movie theater, complete with luxuriously red-upholstered stadium seating. Watch your favorite movies and the latest blockbusters in your home! There is also a billiards room with built-in bar and seating for 6+ in the home. What a great way to spend a night in with family and friends.
The exterior of the property also has plenty of entertaining options. There is an in-ground pool and hot tub with ample deck seating and an outdoor kitchen. A pool/guest house sits next to the pool for convenience. A tennis court that can be used year round is also available. Of course in a setting such as Rome, it would be a shame if you did not have private stables. The property is absolutely gorgeous and there are few better ways to enjoy all of this land than on horseback.
Saying this estate has so much to offer is an understatement. It is better than many fine resorts and has much more to offer. It can all be yours. How else could you be more relaxed and at peace than having all of this and sharing it with your friends and family?
