Through the covered entry and smack into a completely different world... right in the middle of Fort Smith! A heavily wooded area with only thirteen lots, each with at least two acres, and the largest with ten. This house used the land as its inspiration. The blend into the woods is perfect, from the outside and from the interior.
The exterior of this 4488 square foot home is a combination of redwood and limestone (salvaged from the First Baptist Church in downtown Fort Smith), with over 950 square feet of wrap-around decking. The style is contemporary, drawn by our local architect, Tim Risley. The interior of this two level (three level if you count the loft in the master bedroom) home is hardwood flooring, mahogany trim, granite and limestone. Four bedrooms, each with its own bath and one powder room. Tall windows and skylights allow both wonderful natural light and uninterrupted views of the surrounding woods.
Main Level:
Entry: 10 x 11 with a 15 foot tall ceiling. The exterior stonework has obviously been done by a master mason. The front door came from an english cathedral and is well over 200 years old. The frame for the original door and stain glass panels was custom built by a Smithsonian restoration expert for this house.
Living Room: 19 x 18 One step down. The floors are white oak with a clear finish. The masonry fireplace is constructed of limestone and reaches to the ceiling. Shared with the formal dining room, it makes quite a statement.
Dining Room: 14.5 x 20 Surrounded by windows, and that magnificent fireplace, this is an extraordinary place to hold a formal dinner party, or a family Thanksgiving gathering.
Kitchen: 14.7 x 15 A true “command” center that’s open to the breakfast nook, family room and the dining room... with a breakfast bar on either side. The granite countertops were quarried in South Dakota... the appliances are stainless, the flooring is the same white oak
Breakfast Area: 14.5 x 13 Three skylights above, with floor to ceiling windows, welcome the morning sunshine into both the tiled courtyard outside and the well planned comfort in.
Family Room: 18.5 x 18.5 Features a cathedral ceiling, a walled courtyard to the east, miles of decking on the west and built-in bookshelves with space for a large screen tv on the south wall...how can you resist hanging out here?
Downstairs Guest Room: 12.7 x 12.5
Second Level:
Even the railing on the staircase is custom designed... This level features three bedrooms and a super-sized utility room. Two bedrooms at either end of the hallway, with the master in-between.
Bedroom (2): 15.5 x 12 Private bath, walk in closet, ceiling fan.
Bedroom (3): 14.5 x 11.5 Private bath, walk in closet, ceiling fan. The really neat thing about these rooms are their doors... antiques from an old house in Van Buren... the glass inserts have been replaced with safety glass. Very prudent.
Master Suite: 21 x 16 This room features a sitting area, sloped ceiling from 10 to 15 feet tall. Also features the third level loft. (20.5 x 10). Used as a study with everything built-in. The desk, the bookshelves and an especially charming window seat... should you get tired of all the studying and would just appreciate some daydreaming time. The master bath is huge... 20 x 9, with separate vanities, corner bubbler tub and a walk-in steam shower. The bath also opens to a private deck with a hot tub.
Built in 1993 and completely updated in 2001, the interior of this house is a wonderful blend of casual contemporary and extreme comfort.... and with 2.5 acres (mostly wooded), the outside is a sanctuary.
Special Features:
