Country charm
Waterfront abode offers acres of property
Nestled in the Bay Meadows subdivision on the eastern edge of North Little Rock, a 10-minute drive from downtown Little Rock, this prairie-style home features two bedrooms, three baths, a chef’s kitchen, a well-appointed garage, a safe room and much more.
Three sides of the 10-acre property are fenced, and the fourth side borders a bayou. The home is constructed of cut stone, steel beams and insulated glass walls. A koi pond with a waterfall flows beneath the front porch, which provides a window to the fish below. The porch is accented by wood beams and a wooden front door with a tree carving.
Views of the wooded surroundings can be found throughout the abode, which has pine floors in the living areas and bedrooms. A wood-burning Rumford fireplace and a vaulted ceiling with beams add appeal to the great room.
The space is open to the kitchen, which features an island with a gas cooktop, a pot filler and a prep sink. Other highlights of the kitchen include an appliance barn, a walk-in pantry, two pullout tables, double ovens and a side-by-side refrigerator and freezer. The open dining area has space for a large table.
A second Rumford fireplace serves as a focal point in the master bedroom, which also boasts two window walls with blackout shades. A pocket door provides access to an adjacent room that could be used as an office or a nursery.
The stunning master bath has polished German limestone floors and walls, along with skylights and indirect lighting. The room features a granite-topped vanity with two vessel sinks and a makeup area, a wall of mirrored cabinets, a two-person jetted tub, and a glass-and-tile shower with two shower heads and a steam shower. The bath includes a walk-in closet with skylights and custom storage systems.
The additional bedroom has a window wall and a walk-in closet, along with an en suite bath with a shower and a vanity with a vessel sink. The bath serves double duty as a safe room suitable for use during tornadoes.
The two-car garage features a shop alcove, a bath, two closets and hookups for a washer and dryer. The home also has two attics, one of which is designed for heavy storage. In the master closet is a dog door that has an alarm system and offers access to two dog runs.
The back patio overlooks the bayou, providing outstanding opportunities for enjoying nature.
Other amenities of the home include wheelchair accessibility, a laundry room, a well-planned drainage system and more.
