French Country

Picturesque home hidden in gated area

An arched entry and windows, along with curving wood shutters, add French Country style to this three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath patio home, which is located in a gated area of west Little Rock’s Chenal Valley.

Custom glass-paned front doors open to a gracious foyer that’s lit by a pendant fixture. The beautiful hardwood floor continues into the living and dining rooms, which have matching chandeliers and are linked to the foyer by arched doorways. The dining room has a butler’s pantry for easy entertaining. Open to the gourmet kitchen and the breakfast area, the hearth room has a travertine floor and centers around a gas-log fireplace and has built-in bookcases. Large windows and French doors overlook the back porch, which steps down to a brick patio.

In the kitchen, amenities include painted cabinetry, an island/breakfast bar, granite counters, tile backsplashes, a walk-in pantry and more. The workspace is fully equipped with appliances, including a refrigerator, an ice maker, an oven, a gas cooktop, a microwave, a trash compactor and a dishwasher.

The main-level master bedroom is floored in gleaming hardwood and has French doors that open to the backyard. The tiled bath offers his-and-hers vanities, a private water closet, a jetted tub, a tile shower with a glass door, and a walk-in closet with a built-in bureau. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, both carpeted. One bedroom, which serves as a second master suite, opens to a tiled bath that has a jetted tub, a separate shower and a walk-in closet with built-ins. The hall bath has a single-sink vanity and a tub/shower combination.

The tiled laundry room offers builtin cabinets, a sink and granite counters. Other amenities include a main-level powder room, a security system, window treatments, crown molding and extra trimwork, a two-car rear-entry garage, a sprinkler system and more.
