The en-suite bathroom is a masterpiece of relaxation, boasting a deep soaking tub perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration, along with a separate, modern walk-in shower.

Unbeatable Location & Outdoor Access
Location is everything, and this home sits at the epicenter of Rome’s historic charm.
The Clock Tower: Directly from your beautifully landscaped backyard, take the private steps to enter Clock Tower Park. As one of Rome’s most iconic landmarks, the Clock Tower was built in 1871 on one of the highest points in the city. Living here means having a "monument in your backyard."
Broad Street: You are just one block away from the vibrant energy of Broad Street. Enjoy instant access to Rome’s best locally-owned boutiques, award-winning restaurants, craft breweries, and cozy coffee shops.
The Hills of Rome: Being situated on one of the famous Seven Hills means you enjoy refreshing breezes and a sense of elevation above the bustle of the town.
Thoughtful Amenities
Main Level Convenience: A guest-friendly half-bath is located on the first floor for easy access from the common areas.
Morning Rituals: The inviting front porch is the ultimate spot for your morning coffee, offering a peaceful view of the historic neighborhood as the city wakes up.
Hassle-Free Parking: Enjoy the rare convenience of free parking directly in front of the house on historic Fifth Avenue.
Full Privacy: The entire property—house and yard—is yours to enjoy. While we live just three miles away and are available 24/7 for recommendations or assistance, we respect your privacy and will leave you to enjoy your "home away from home" undisturbed.
A Note on Accessibility & History
This home was built in an era when the world moved at a slower pace and walking was the primary mode of transport. Because the home is perched on a historic hill to provide those stunning views and proximity to the Clock Tower, there are unique physical considerations:
Entry Steps: Navigating several steps is required to reach the front entrance from the street.
Two-Story Layout: The bedrooms are located on the second floor, requiring the use of the interior staircase.
Historic Terrain: The private access to the Clock Tower involves navigating the natural incline of the hill.
We recommend this home for guests who are comfortable with stairs and eager to experience the authentic, elevated geography that makes Rome so unique.
Book your stay today and immerse yourself in the elegance, history, and vibrant culture of Rome, Georgia. We look forward to hosting you!
