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!
