Historic hideaway
Conway abode offers updated charm
Located in the Robinson Historic District near downtown Conway, this fully updated 1948 home offers four bedrooms, three baths, unexpected extras and lots of historic character, including original doors, doorknobs and hardwood floors.
The front door opens to the living room, which boasts a gas-start, woodburning fireplace. Adjacent to the living room is a formal dining room with ample windows and an elegant rectangular chandelier that matches the light fixtures in the kitchen.
The generously sized kitchen features an open bar connected to the living room and dining room, as well as an oversized island, solid-surface countertops, original cabinets with updated hardware, and stainless-steel appliances, including a gas stove.
The home’s attic was recently converted into a master suite with space for a living area or office. The room’s hand-scraped hardwood floors complement the wood beams on the ceiling and oil-rubbed, bronze light fixtures. The space also offers built-in bookshelves that open to reveal a secret bonus area. A large walk-in closet is located in the extraordinary master bathroom, which is tiled and features a jetted corner tub, a walk-in shower, separate double vanities and a private water closet.
There are three downstairs bedrooms, one of which has pine-wood paneling. The former master bedroom includes two closets and private access to the original master bath.
An additional bathroom is located between the other two rooms, and both bathrooms have single vanities and tub-shower combinations. Other amenities include a large laundry room with three closets and a sink, as well as a carport, a new HVAC system and a newer roof.
