- By Azalea Andrade CONTRIBUTI­NG WRITER

Situated in Fairfax Terrace in the heart of Hillcrest in Little Rock, this threebedro­om, two-full-and-two-half-bath home offers a charming layout, a spacious backyard, original hardwood floors and more.

A black awning shelters the red front door, which is protected by a storm door and opens to the home’s carpeted stairs. The light-filled living room features French doors, a gas-log fireplace, a built-in entertainm­ent center and a large window overlookin­g the front yard. An opening from the living room leads to the dining room, which has three windows, track lights and access to the home office that could be used as a fourth bedroom. The office also has double French doors that open to the side deck.

The kitchen is distinguis­hed by granite countertop­s, ample storage and counter space, tile flooring, a large window, a secondary entrance from the front yard, upper cabinets with glass-paned doors, and a breakfast area with a built-in bench. Stainless-steel appliances include a gas range in the center island, a built-in microwave, a double-door refrigerat­or, a dishwasher, a wall oven, a trash compactor and an ice maker. A side bar with space for a mini fridge is also part of the kitchen.

On the home’s upper level are the primary suite, two additional bedrooms, and a full and a half bath. The generously sized primary bedroom boasts a large window, hardwood flooring and access to a screened-in porch that has red terracotta-like flooring. The en suite bath is equipped with a pedestal sink, a walk-in shower, black-and-white tile flooring and two linen closets that flank the door.

Each additional sizable bedroom provides hardwood flooring, a roomy closet and a window. One of the additional bedrooms has an attached carpeted game room, which supplies a closet, a built-in window cabinet, and a half bath with a vessel-sink vanity and a shed ceiling. The hallway bath includes a pedestal sink, small-honeycomb-tile flooring and an arched opening where the tub/shower combinatio­n with a sliding glass door sits.
