Charming and iconic Ozark giraffe house! Named giraffe homes for their obvious resemblance, these iconic “folk siding” natural rock homes are unique to our region, and you’ve probably seen this one due to its corner-lot orientation and highway frontage a stones-throw from XNA! This early 20th century charmer sits on 1.5 acres and features two beds and two baths. Improvements abound throughout, including newer windows, HVAC, plumbing, septic, electric, and water heater. The property also includes a heated & cooled 9 x 15 she-shed/man cave, or maybe it’s the perfect flex-space/office/playhouse. The home is currently utilized as a short-term rental, but literally the sky is the limit for this one! Reimagine the property as a commercial office space, keep it as a rental, or make it your adorable home. Must see this piece of Ozark history!
