Inviting abode
Family home rests on large parklike lot
Built on a generous 0.46-acre lot in North Little Rock’s prestigious Shady Valley subdivision, this family-style home offers five bedrooms, four baths, formal and casual living spaces, an office, an upstairs game room with built-ins, and more. Ideal for outdoor living and entertaining, the parklike privacy-fenced backyard has a deck and a rock waterfall that cascades into a koi pond.
Hardwood floors begin in the foyer and continue throughout the main-level living areas. Open to the foyer, the spacious living room has large windows for natural light and is linked to the chandelier-lit dining room by a double doorway.
A tall vaulted ceiling soars above the family room, where large windows overlook the back deck. The space is anchored by a woodburning fireplace that’s finished with a brick surround and a painted mantelpiece. The fireplace is flanked by builtin bookcases and media cabinets, adding to the appeal of the space.
Open to the family room, the kitchen is fitted with painted cabinetry, a breakfast bar, an island, solid-surface counters, tile backsplashes and stainless-steel appliances — a dishwasher, a gas stove and a microwave/vent hood. The breakfast area has a bay window and built-in bookcases, and double doors link the workspace to the dining room.
Upstairs, the carpeted master bedroom opens to a tiled bath that has a double-sink vanity, a private water closet, a 6-foot jetted tub, a glass shower and a large walk-in closet. There are three additional bedrooms on this level; each is carpeted and has a walk-in closet. There are two additional upstairs baths, one with a shower and one with a tub/ shower combination. Located on the main level, the wood-floored guest bedroom has private access to the hall bath.
Other amenities include a laundry room with built-ins, window treatments, a three-car side-entry garage with a storm shelter, an outdoor storage area, a sprinkler system and more.
