This beautiful old historic home sits at the end of a long, tree-lined driveway and is full of charm and character. Built in 1911, the house is located on 2.47 acres in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, in Edgecombe County, right between Calhoun Road and Worsley Road on old Cokey Road. It is back on the market and ready for someone with vision to bring it back to life.
This is truly a fixer upper, but the potential here is easy to see. The home offers classic features that are hard to find today, including a grand staircase, 12-foot ceilings, pine and wood floors, crown moulding, wainscoting, and warm knotty pine details. There are many fireplaces, adding to the historic feel and giving the home a strong sense of place and history.
The house includes both a covered front porch and a screened-in porch, perfect spots to sit and enjoy the peaceful setting. With five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and approximately 4,366 square feet, there is plenty of room for a large family, guests, or even in-laws. The layout offers space to grow and the chance to design each room to your own taste.
Outside, the property really shines. The 2.47 acres provide lots of open space for gardening, outdoor projects, or simply enjoying the quiet countryside. There are multiple outbuildings on the property, offered at no value, but they add character and could be useful for storage, workshops, or future ideas. The long driveway and mature trees create a private and picturesque approach to the home that feels welcoming and special.
This grand old house does need TLC, but it is packed with history and charm. With the new price of $129,900, this is a rare opportunity to own a large historic home with land in North Carolina. For someone who loves old houses and doesn’t mind a project, this could be the perfect place to restore, personalize, and make truly your own.
