880 Ellison Drive
Rocky Mount, NC 27801Step inside a 'brand-new' 1955 ranch where soaring cathedral ceilings, a gleaming metal roof, and walls of new windows prove this is no quick flip--it's a full-scale rebuild reinvented for modern living. A studs-out renovation nearly doubled the footprint to 1,394 sq ft, opening an airy great-room, dining area, and an expansive, open-concept kitchen that will soon showcase brand-new appliances and generous counter top space with pull-up seating--perfect for conversation and connection while meals are being created. A new fireplace insert will anchor the living/family room, adding warmth and character just in time for cooler nights. A rear sliding glass door leads to a screened deck overlooking a tree-lined Tar River, and a 453 sq ft covered front porch sets the scene for rocking-chair evenings. The private wing offers a serene primary retreat with spa bath, walk-in closet, and deck access, plus two secondary bedrooms joined by a stylish Jack-and-Jill bath and a handy half-bath for guests. All systems are worry-free--new HVAC, updated plumbing and electrical, fresh insulation, energy-efficient windows and doors. A newly paved drive, partial privacy fencing, and no HOA or deed restrictions add everyday convenience. Enjoy the nearby city park, close to the hospital/medical facilities and the police department. Minutes to downtown Rocky Mount and the US-64/I-95 corridors, this turnkey showplace blends modern luxury with classic character--just have your fishing pole ready. Renovation in final stages--completion targeted for late July 2026. Please pardon work-in-progress items; listing agent must accompany all showings.
