## Description

### Agent Description
Nestled in Akron's historic Firestone Park neighborhood, 1617 Rockford St. has been cared for by only two owners since 1976-a rare continuity that shows in every detail. The home sits on a quiet, tree-lined street with excellent access to local expressways, Metro Parks trails, shopping, and convenient transit routes. Its outdoor living space is a highlight: a fully fenced yard offering privacy and comfort, paired with a covered patio that extends the seasons and creates an inviting place to gather or unwind. A backyard shed adds practical storage, while the extra-long garage is a true bonus, equipped with heating, air conditioning, and a dedicated workshop area that can also serve as a relaxed man cave or optional gathering space for guests. Inside, the home offers a warm and efficient layout with three comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The first-floor living room is bright and welcoming, a natural center to daily life. The fully finished and applianced kitchen provides plentiful preparation space for the at-home foodie, blending functionality with charm and making everyday cooking or entertaining a delight. The finished basement adds a generous second living area perfect for a family room, media space, or recreation, and has been fully waterproofed for peace of mind. A dedicated laundry area and well-organized storage zones reflect the same careful attention found throughout the property. Recent updates further enhance its value and readiness for its next owner, including a new house and patio roof in 2024, a new water heater in 2019, and a main sewer line replacement in 2025. All kitchen appliances and window treatments/shades (as pictured) are included, making this home truly move-in ready. With its long history of meticulous care, exceptional outdoor and workshop amenities, and its setting within one of Akron's most beloved neighborhoods, 1617 Rockford St. offers a rare blend of stability, charm, and practical living.
