Romantic retreat

Soft contemporary home overlooks lake

Tucked away in North Little Rock’s Lakewood neighborhood, this three-bedroom, four-bath home features a flexible floor plan that offers both open and intimate living spaces.

Inside the front door, the main-level sitting area and open-concept kitchen overlook the lower-level den. The tall vaulted ceiling has a 6-foot skylight that provides natural illumination. The entire main level is floored in porcelain tile, and the lower level features wood floors. The kitchen is fitted with floor-to-ceiling painted cabinetry, a freestanding stove and a dishwasher; the chandelier-lit dining area opens to the deck.

Accessible by both a spiral and a standard staircase, the den centers around a site-built fireplace; the brick facing extends to the top of the vaulted ceiling and features a wood inset. This living space is served by a walk-in kitchenette that has a tile floor, built-in cabinets and a bar sink. There is also a chandelier-lit library area, open to the den, that offers built-in desk, bookshelves and cabinets; the space could also be used as a second dining area. This level also offers a game room, currently used as a fourth bedroom, and a tiled bath with a single-sink vanity and a private bathing area with a walk-in shower. There is also a sunroom that has several sets of screened sliding glass doors.

Located on the main level, the private master suite includes a large bedroom that has a vaulted ceiling, a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace and built-in bookcases, as well as a private balcony. For added luxury, there are two baths: His bath has a double-sink vanity and a private bathing area with a tiled shower, and hers has a granite-topped furniture-style vanity and an air-jet tub with a handheld sprayer. On the other side of the home are two bedrooms, each with a built-in desk and two closets with mirrored sliding doors. The two bedrooms are linked by a full bath that has a double-sink vanity, a skylight and a tub/shower combination.

Other amenities include a laundry area, instant hot water, an intercom, a twocar garage, a private boat dock and more.
