The street name “Park Avenue” to most, denotes the highest standard of true graciousness.   High tea  in slightly rumpled  linen suits.  Luxury.  Well, that’s what this house is all about.  Sited at the top of a gentle rise, with a circle drive, perfectly manicured lawn and a view of the Arkansas River.  White painted brick with six twenty foot tall columns for a classic Greek Revival portico, but, true to southern tradition, several other styles have been combined simply because the owners liked them…and the results?  A welcoming family home.
Over 5500 square feet of comfort.  Four bedrooms, three full baths, powder room, study, formal living room, formal dining, breakfast room, kitchen with a breakfast bar, family room, bonus room, utility, 2 car side entry garage and an inground pool…………more?  Oh, so much more.  The amenities are the embellishment, the polish that makes this such an outstanding property.

Main Level:
Entry Foyer:  22.6 x 13.6.  White Italian ceramic tile reflects a lovely Schonbek chandelier.
Living Room:  25 x 19.  Just to the right, with a small stepdown to the hardwood flooring,  two floor to ceiling windows, woodburning fireplace with gas logs framed by two doorways to the study.
Study:  18 x 14.10.  Parquet flooring, built-in bookshelves, walnut paneling and windows that make it hard to study anything……….
Formal Dining Room:  14 x 17.  Crowned by a magnificent Schonbek  chandelier, the floors are hardwood and the walls are finished with chair rail and decorative moldings.  The kitchen and breakfast room are off the dining, but the owners have had a bank of cherry cabinets added against the opposing wall for extra storage, the effect is of a continuation of the dining room.  Really nice.
Breakfast Room:    18.5 x 10.5.  with a butler’s pantry/wet bar at the end…..originally used as an area to arrange cut flowers…the flooring in this area (kitchen, too) is of random width slate tiling. 
Kitchen:  21 x 12.  Completely remodeled.   Granite, stainless appliances, cherry cabinetry, one HUGE window and a breakfast bar.  Double ovens with a warming oven, granite farmhouse sink (extra deep) plus a raised dishwasher for easier loading/unloading.
Maids Quarters:  18 x 21.  Really.  This room is reached by a private back staircase, isolated from the rest of the house.  But, failing the live-in maid, perhaps a place for a teenager, mother-in-law or guest.  Two dormer windows open to the front of the house, a large full bath and a walk –in closet. 
Utility Room:  22 x 6.  Opens to the back yard.
Family Room:  23 x 18.  Cherry paneling,  woodburning fireplace with stone hearth, French doors that open to the flagstone patio.  Just to the left of the fireplace is a full indoor grill, complete with a commercial vent…..in case of inclement weather….
Master Bedroom:  17 x 20.7.  Hardwood floors, several, several floor to ceiling windows that open to the north and east with a great view of the river.  Also, there is a doorway to the patio.   Master bath………certainly, and it has been re-done to a point……but, all the baths in this house are so super, cool….they have the original 1950’s tile and the little, in the wall, gas heaters…..I, too, had one in my bathroom, and had it taken out………my husband has never forgiven me! 
Second Level:
Two bedrooms and a bonus room , tons of storage, plus a full bath.
Bedroom (1):  18 x 13.6.  Hardwood flooring, walk-in closet.
Bedroom (2):  14.5 x 19.  Hardwood, walk-in closet plus a large storage area.  Both these bedrooms share a jack n jill bath.
Bonus room:   12.5 x 18.  Hardwood flooring.
Sited on over three acres, this home has just about everything else you might want, too.  First is the view of the Arkansas River that may be enjoyed from either the back patio or the inground pool.  Second, two outbuildings for storage.  Both have electricity.  Third, beautiful lawns, fourth, a sprinkler system to make certain they stay beautiful and fifth, a separate water meter for the sprinkler system. 

This is a rare opportunity to own one of Fort Smith’s premiere properties…
and it’s offered to the market for only: $995,000.
