Gorgeous views

Stunning home ideal for family, entertaining

Built high atop a ridge overlooking the Arkansas River, this soft contemporary home has five bedrooms, three full and two half baths, and formal and casual living spaces. The 2.40-acre property, located in Little Rock’s River Ridge subdivision, also features an inground swimming pool and a series of flagstone patios with a fire pit.

Inside the double front doors, the two-story foyer has a hardwood floor that continues into the great room and formal dining room. A vaulted ceiling soars above the great room, which is anchored by a site-built rock fireplace and has a panoramic wall of windows. A second fireplace can be found in the den/game room.

The gourmet kitchen is floored in travertine tile and features custom cabinetry, an island/breakfast bar, slab granite counters, a walk-in pantry and stainless-steel appliances, including a convection oven, a warming drawer, a microwave, a gas range and a dishwasher. Between the kitchen and the chandelier-lit dining room is a bar area that has a beverage fridge and an ice maker.

Positioned on the main level, the master bedroom has a hardwood floor, a rock fireplace and private access to the deck. The en suite bath includes a dressing area with extensive built-ins, as well as his-and-hers spaces — hers has a single-sink vanity and a jetted tub, and his has a single-sink vanity and a walk-in shower. The study, located next to the master suite, offers floor-to-ceiling built-ins.

Upstairs are four additional bedrooms. At one end of the home are two oversized bedrooms, each with private access to the hall bath. On the other side of the home is a large guest bedroom and a smaller bedroom that could be used as a sitting room, if desired. Both bedrooms share a private bath.

Other amenities include a laundry room, two half baths, a security system, a three-car garage and much more.
