After a wealth of updates, 3497 E. Natchez Trace in Fayetteville reflects a marriage of contemporary and traditional styles throughout its 3,800 square feet.
Listed by Shirley Stowe-Rains of Lindsey & Associates for $429,900, the home has five bedrooms, four full baths, an office and two living spaces.
Under a covered entry, an impressive arched door opens into the foyer and reveals the dark hardwood floors that spread throughout the main level. To the right, glass-paned French doors lead into an office with an angled high ceiling, wainscoting and a wall of built- in shelves and cabinetry. Across the foyer, the formal dining room features a tray ceiling and a recessed nook in the far wall that is perfect for a sideboard or hutch.
Back in the foyer, a set of steps leads up to the main living room. A floor-to-ceiling, custom-built entertainment center anchors one side of the room. The space also features a gas-log fireplace set between a pair of oversized windows, along with a wine bar.
The contemporary touch is most prevalent in the kitchen, which is wrapped in sleek, white cabinetry. An island with a recessed sink stands in the center of the space under slim pendant lighting fixtures. The stainless steel Thermador appliances include a large refrigerator and a commer- cial-grade oven with a built-in griddle. Other features include a glass-tile backsplash and a walk-in pantry. An informal dining nook set into a wide bay window caps off the kitchen.
In the master suite, the bedroom offers pri- vate deck access, a long walk-in closet with two entries and space for a sitting area. In the master bath, a delicate chandelier hangs above a corner jetted tub. Other amenities include his-and-hers vanities with a marble top, a walk-in shower and a private water closet.
The main level also includes two other bedrooms, one of which has its own full bath and private deck access. On the lower level, the family room, which includes a wet bar with a built-in wine rack, is flanked by the two other bedrooms.
Outdoor living spaces include a deck and patio that run the length of the home. There is also a three-car attached garage and lots of storage space.
Private showings can be arranged by contacting Shirley Stowe-Rains of Lindsey & Associates at (479) 841-3537.
From the intersection of Arkansas 265 and Old Wire Road, head west on Old Wire Road and onto Skillern Road. Turn right at Charleston Crossing into the Savanna Estates subdivision, then left on Natchez Trace.
