Modern appeal
Architect-designed home offers stunning view
Designed by the late J. Yandell Johnson, a Little Rock architect, this midcentury modern home was constructed on 2.19 acres in The Heights. The two-level home offers four bedrooms, four-and-ahalf baths and an abundance of flexible living spaces.
Double doors open to a tiled foyer that is illuminated by a lantern-style chandelier. The foyer flows into the formal living and dining areas, as well as a casual living space.
The formal living space is floored in eco-friendly, sustainable cork and features a beautifully detailed fireplace, and the chandelier-lit dining room offers a gorgeous view. The casual living area includes a wet bar for entertaining and opens to a three-quarter bath with a tiletopped vanity and a shower.
In the tiled kitchen, amenities include wood cabinetry, stainless-steel and wood counters, a pantry, two ovens, a warming drawer, a gas cooktop, a vent hood, an ice maker, a dishwasher and more. A breakfast bar separates the workspace from a breakfast/sitting area that is surrounded by large windows and opens to the upper deck.
The spacious master suite includes a carpeted bedroom, which has a private balcony overlooking the backyard and shares a see-through fireplace with a private sitting room that has built-in bookcases and opens to the front lawn. The suite also offers a dressing area with two closets, one with built-in drawers, and a tiled bath with his-and-hers vanities, a jetted tub and a tiled shower.
There are two more main-level bedrooms; each is carpeted and has two closets with built-in drawers. The tiled hall bath has a double vanity with glass vessel sinks, as well as a tub/shower combination. The fourth bedroom, which has a private bath, is on the home’s lower level.
The lower level also includes a large living area, a half bath, a wine closet and a heated greenhouse area.
Ideal for outdoor living, the terraced backyard has a large patio, a waterfall and koi pond, a deck and more.
Other amenities include a laundry room, abundant storage, a security system, a sprinkler system and much more.
