1401 W Haven Blvd, Rocky Mount, NC 27803

Property Description

This gorgeous architect-designed home sits on a corner lot in the City of Rocky Mount, conveniently located to major shopping and eateries. It is a stroll-away from downtown Rocky Mount, the train station, city administration offices, and churches. The kitchen is newly updated, with modern appliances, lots of cabinets, gas stove with a pot filler faucet and grill. Built in 1937 by Samuel Sanders Toler, builder of a number of significant buildings in Rocky Mount. Toler built the house for his family and no corners were cut; built of the finest materials with great craftsmanship, this home is both timeless and modern. The house has two fireplaces (never used by current homeowners) that provide the feel of warmth and comfort in the living room and den/library/5 th bedroom on the ground floor. Beautiful hardwood floors throughout, with tile in the kitchen and bathrooms. On the ground floor you will find a spacious living room, dining room, kitchen, office, den/library/bonus room and a full bath. Upstairs the house branches into two wings, one way leads to an ensuite guest room, a massive linen closet and the master bedroom. The master suite features his and her walk-in lighted closets and built-in alcove cabinets. The master bathroom has double vanity sinks in a quartz counter-top, a large jacuzzi tub, and a walk-in shower with two shower heads. The other wing of the upstairs is ideal for privacy, and extra space. There are two spacious bedrooms, with a full bath and two walk-in closets, built- in cabinets and a ''secret closet'' which is very cool! Unusual for Rocky Mount, the home has a partial basement with a concrete floor with a half bath and ample storage space. A mud room and broom closet provide the residence with space for changing shoes or tending to pets. The backyard is completely fenced offering privacy and security. The driveway also includes hardware to have your own pickleball court. The beautiful gardens were originally designed by noted landscape architect Glendon Robert Derick, who designed many gardens in North Carolina. Later owners revamped the gardens, adding many new features, a rose garden and specimen plants, and a water feature. These gardens were the subject of a blog post on the Main Street Rocky Mount website (The Historic District Gardens of Rocky Mount - A West Haven Poem - Main Street Rocky Mount). 1401 is a place of fine craftsmanship, beauty and elegance awaiting its new owners!
