Rocky Mount, NC 27803Painted brick, gabled dormers, and mature landscaping complete with a stunning magnolia tree give this classic Cape Cod curb appeal that simply isn't built anymore. Inside there are four bedrooms, three baths, and light-filled sunrooms, including a beautifully converted upstairs sleeping porch. Outside you will find generous patio space made for entertaining and a detached two-car carport with a workshop and walk-up attic storage. A functional basement space, previously enjoyed as the ''man cave,'' awaits its next chapter. Just as appealing is the setting. City Lake is only a short walk from the front door, close enough for a morning walk before work or an evening stroll after dinner. The house is set in one of Rocky Mount's established neighborhoods where the lots are deep and the architecture has had decades to settle in. This home was well loved and is full of possibility for its next owner.
