Classic comfort
Updated home ideal for family, entertaining
Constructed in 1945, this five-bedroom, six-bath rock-and-frame home has become a Little Rock landmark for many. Positioned just west of University Avenue on Cantrell Road, the home is convenient to The Heights, Midtown and other retail and business areas.
Site-finished oak hardwood floors begin in the foyer and continue through much of the home, including the formal living and dining rooms.
For added ambience, the chandelier-lit dining room features a site-built fireplace, finished with a painted mantelpiece, as well as a built-in cabinet with glass display shelves. A double doorway leads to the formal living room.
In the tiled, completely renovated kitchen, amenities include custom cabinetry, a breakfast bar, granite counters, tile backsplashes, a refrigerator, an ice maker, a double oven, a microwave, a smooth-surface electric cooktop and a two-drawer dishwasher. The breakfast bar is illuminated by art-glass pendants and sets the workspace apart from the chandelier-lit breakfast area.
For added flexibility, the home offers two master suites, one on the main level and one upstairs. The main-level master is carpeted and has a private bath, while the upstairs master suite is floored in oak and includes a separate sitting room and his-and-hers baths.
The home’s walk-out lower level is ideal for use as guest or in-law quarters. The space includes a large den that shares a see-through fireplace with an adjacent sitting area, along with a game room, a kitchenette, a bedroom and a full bath.
Other amenities include a laundry room, a sunroom, a security system, window treatments, recessed lighting, ceiling fans, walk-in closets, crown molding, a two-car garage, a fully fenced backyard with a basketball court, a storm cellar and more.
