Hillcrest classic
Home rests on corner lot in close-knit area
Designed by noted Arkansas architect Charles L. Thompson in the early 1900s, this three-bedroom, two-anda-half-bath home rests on a corner lot in the Hillcrest area of Little Rock. The home is within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants and other amenities on nearby Kavanaugh Boulevard.
The broad front porch offers the perfect vantage point for relaxing and visiting with neighbors. Oak hardwood floors begin inside the front door and continue through much of the home. The spacious, open living room centers around a site-built woodburning, gas-start fireplace faced with whitewashed rock. One set of French doors links the living room to the chandelier-lit dining room, and another set leads to the office, which opens to the powder room.
Floor-to-ceiling painted cabinetry provides abundant storage space in the kitchen. Other amenities include granite counters, tile backsplashes, glass-front lighted cabinets, a refrigerator, a gas stove, a vent hood and a dishwasher. Corner windows create the perfect spot for a breakfast nook.
Upstairs, the master bedroom has carpet installed over the hardwood floor and has his-and-hers closets. The tiled bath has a tub/shower combination, as well as a walk-in cedar closet. The remaining two bedrooms are carpeted; one is spacious enough for use as a second master bedroom. The hall bath also has a tub/shower combination.
The upper level also includes a sunroom that has windows on three sides, a wall of bookshelves and a painted beadboard ceiling.
The landscaped corner lot includes privacy-fenced back and side yards, a patio and more. Other amenities of the home include a laundry area, crown molding, ceiling fans, front and back staircases, a one-car garage and more.
