618 Fayetteville Road, Rockingham, NC 28379

Built in 1927 for the Ledbetter family, the Henry D. Ledbetter House is a remarkable example of Colonial Revival architecture. Nearly a century later, the home retains the craftsmanship, character and gracious proportions that make historic homes so special, while thoughtful updates allow it to live beautifully for today. A classical front portico welcomes you through the double-door entrance into a central foyer framed by pocket doors on both sides that open into the formal living and and dining rooms, and a study/music room. These gathering spaces provide an elegant yet comfortable flow throughout the main level. Just off the study, the light-filled Carolina room is an inviting spot for morning coffee, while the covered side porch off the formal living room offers the perfect setting for a porch swing and an unhurried afternoon. One of the home's most memorable spaces is the rear great room, an addition dating to the 1950s. Rich with history, the room features hand-hewn beams reclaimed from the old Ledbetter homeplace in the Zion community, along with heart pine floors, beautifully paneled walls and a corner fireplace with gas logs. The kitchen blends classic style with modern convenience and was refreshed in 2025 with new tile flooring in a diagonal checkerboard pattern and all-new appliances, including double ovens, a gas Bosch cooktop, and a KitchenAid refrigerator and dishwasher. Adjacent breakfast nook, pantry and adjoining laundry room add everyday functionality. The back stairway meets the kitchen to add convenience to the upstairs bedrooms. Upstairs are four bedrooms total, including the primary suite and two bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath. At the top of the stairs, a generous landing and adjoining reading room or study overlooking the front yard create another charming retreat. The media room at the rear of the home offers additional flexible living space, while a walk-up attic provides abundant storage. From its heart pine floors and paneled walls to its leaded-glass details, fireplaces, porches and sun-filled rooms, 618 Fayetteville Road is a home with a story--one that has been thoughtfully added to through generations while preserving the character of one of Rockingham's distinctive historic residences. Showings start Thursday, August 13th. Professional photos coming soon.
