Lakeside getaway

Enjoy picturesque retreat on Lake Hamilton

Tucked away on a quiet cove of Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, this charming two-bedroom, one-bath bungalow is ideal for either a weekend getaway or a full-time residence.

The front porch overlooks the cove, while the boardwalk-style dock provides the perfect spot to moor a small craft.

Inside the front door, the great room centers around a brick fireplace and has a full wall of built-in bookcases and media shelves. Large windows provide natural light, as well as gorgeous views of the lake. The wide-plank, engineered-wood floor continues throughout the home, except for the tiled bath.

The spacious kitchen features cheerful painted cabinetry, a pantry, a peninsula bar, engineered-stone counters, subway tile backsplashes and stainlessappliances — a dishwasher, a microwave and an electric stove with a smooth-surface cooktop. The workspace is illuminated by colorful pendants for added charm. The sunny dining area offers a relaxing view of the front lawn and cove; the space has a recessed niche for a china cabinet or a buffet.

The master bedroom has two double closets, while the guest bedroom has one closet. The tiled bath is fitted with a single vanity with plenty of counter and cabinet space, as well as a tub/shower combination. Natural wood beadboard walls add to the lake-home feel.

In addition to the main-level living spaces, there is a ready-to-finish 900-square-foot basement, not included in the home’s square footage. This area would be great for use as a rec room, a media room or even additional sleeping quarters.

A few of the home’s other amenities include a laundry niche, crown molding and baseboards, ceiling fans, a covered carport, a full-yard sprinkler system and more.

This house, located at 189 Bayshore Cove in Hot Springs, has about 1,408 square feet and is listed for $279,000 with the Smith Team of Crye-Leike Realtors, Hot Springs. No open house is planned for today. For more information or to schedule a private showing, call Scott at 501-520-8500 or Sherry at 501520-8400.
