You should see the wood in this house. It was built in 1960 by a wealthy family in Searcy AR who owned and operated a flooring or lumber mill. They made oak flooring that was about 3/4 inch thick. Architect Norris Sparks designed their house and we still have the blueprints. It is placed on 5 city lots which stretch from one street to the next. When built it was on the edge of town.
Now, of course, the town has come out to meet it. The property, however, is zoned R3 so it can not be used for commercial purposes even though there is an acre of land! The present owner has added a sprinkling system for the yard and he put a 1500 gallon Koi Pond with waterfall in the back yard. Trees are huge. Squirrels are prevalent and ready to eat out of your hand.
The walls are wood; the floors are wood; the ceilings are wood; even the garage walls and ceiling and door are wood. Inside the closets you'll find wood and I trust that if I climbed into the attic there would be solid oak wood there too. Windows are wood with individual panes of glass. Everything in the house is the best that could be obtained in 1960.
The price is a very reasonable $190,000 so if any of you want a private showing. let me know!! BUT BE WARNED THAT IF YOU INTEND TO PAINT ALL THIS WOOD, I'D CONSIDER IT SINNING! For more pictures you can go to my website or to realtor.com.
