Charming 2-Bedroom Bungalow with Low-Maintenance Living
Walk up the tidy, level lot on Loblolly Drive and you'll immediately sense the advantage this bungalow delivers: a compact, thoughtfully designed home that minimizes upkeep while maximizing livability. At 937 square feet this one-story plan opens into a living area anchored by a gas-log fireplace and softened by 9-foot ceilings—details that make the footprint feel larger than the numbers suggest. The open living and dining zone is ideal for relaxed evenings, and built-in window treatments and crisp interior finishes keep the interior feeling well-cared-for.
The kitchen and dining area flow into the main living space with practical sightlines for everyday living and entertaining. Two bedrooms and two full bathrooms are arranged for privacy and convenience, and the home’s single-level layout eliminates stairs while offering efficient heating and cooling through forced-air electric and central air conditioning. Practical touches—composition roof, blinds/shades, assigned paved parking—round out the maintenance-light package.
Outside, the HOA handles lawn and landscaping, so weekends are freed from mowing and trimming; this is a real selling point for busy buyers or owners who prefer to travel without property chores. The lot is level and easy to manage, and the community’s sidewalks and curb appeal reflect steady, stable upkeep across the Pines at Westridge neighborhood.
Location is a strong part of the story: Harris Teeter and neighborhood shopping are roughly two blocks away, Englewood Elementary sits within a mile, and Rocky Mount High is nearby—making errands, school runs, and groceries quick and convenient. Recent neighborhood comps and a valuation midpoint near $187,500 indicate this property sits squarely in the affordable segment of Rocky Mount’s market, a smart opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors seeking low-turnover rentals. With a compact, move-in-ready layout and HOA-covered outdoor maintenance, this bungalow offers straightforward, low-stress homeownership in a practical, well-located community.
