About this home
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....
