Built in 1915, this house is perfectly located down the street from Old Main, Dickson Street, and the downtown square. With 2656 square feet atop a hill, it has plenty of room for privacy in the midst of the downtown area.

Sitting on a large lot, this 2-story house has 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, a large living and dining area,Proposed Floor Plan a professional library, a spacious kitchen with adjoining butler's pantry, and a breakfast area with a raised bar for seating. The exterior siding includes masonite on the front and back elevations, and Western, red cedar siding on the side elevations.

The front porch sits uphill from W. Lafayette Street giving it plenty of privacy. The elegant, double-door front entry leads into an entry hall that accesses a coat closet, the library, upstairs, and the living/dining areas. A series of columns help keep the living/dinging areas separate from the hall while opening up each of the spaces and making them more formal. The columns also allow more natural light into the hall and stairs.

The professional library has high, built-in shelves, and its location in the house ensures either quiet privacy or happy entertaining. The end of the downstairs hall also leads to a bathroom, guest room, and the kitchen/breakfast area at the back of the house.

The kitchen contains a 30" 5-burner stainless steel gas range with a stainless vent hood, a stainless refrigerator with icemaker, a stainless sink, a stainless dishwasher, 3/4 horsepower garbage disposal, tile counters with a no-drip cap and subway tile backsplash, open shelving, and painted and/or stained and painted cabinets and wood shelves. A large, butler's closet with plenty of storage and a window for light connects the kitchen to the dining room. The breakfast room has an array of windows that let in natural light and ventilation. It also has a private entry from the driveway, and double French door access to the back patio.

The upstairs is made up of 2 large, master bedrooms with their own luxurious bathrooms and walk-in closets. The laundry services are also conveniently located upstairs off the hall; it's close to the bedrooms and far from guests. Master bedroom #1 is on the East side of the house and nearly spans the depth of the house. Its bathroom contains 2 Kohler sinks and 2 Kohler medicine cabinets, Delta faucets and shower valves with chrome finish, a cast iron clawfoot tub, a fiberglass shower with glass door, a ceramic tissue holder and towel bars, a Kohler toilet, and a mosaic tile floor with sanitary cove.

Master bedroom #2 is on the West side of the house and has a bathroom that contains a Kohler sink in a custom vanity, a Kohler medicine cabinet, a steel tub with tile shower surround, a Kohler toilet, and a mosaic tile floor with sanitary cove. Twin windows are located in each of the master bathrooms to ensure plenty of natural light and ventilation. There is also ample privacy for each bathroom since they are on the 2nd floor of a house that sits atop a hill. 

This house sits on a large property, and the landscape has been professionally designed. The yard is sod with fescue, an irrigation system is installed and on a timer, the trees and overgrown vegetation has been trimmed, and there are various plants (shrubs, flowers, etc.) in mulched beds. There is even potential for a garden in the large, back yard since it gets plenty of sunlight throughout the day.

Sitting uphill from the prestigious Lafayette Street, this house is quite a find. Just a short walk from Dickson Street, Old Main and the University of Arkansas, and Wilson Park, it is perfectly located in downtown. Restaurants and the Farmer's Market are all with-in walking distance as well. The expansive property and large house in such a central location make this property unique.
