12900 Natural Steps Dr, Roland, AR 72135

-- Rambling Mission style home with character in a quiet, scenic, upscale family neighborhood. This 3477 square feet family home has living and sleeping wings in an "L" shape around a large deck. It sits on 3.2 wooded acres in Natural Steps -- just two minutes past beautiful, award-winning Pinnacle Mountain State Park and within 15 minutes of Little Rock Christian, Pulaski Academy, Joe T. Robinson, and the new Roberts Elementary School. -- The driveway winds to a sizeable paved parking lot, bordered with native stacked fieldstone. The wraparound porch leads to a cardinal-red front door. Inside, a true "great room" with twenty-foot ceilings spans the kitchen, dining, and main living areas. Above, aged wooden beams stretch the length of a vaulted ceiling of beaded pine. -- Intimate and connected enough to be the main living area for the entire family, this room also has the scale to handle the largest family holiday gatherings and parties. A Vermont Castings Vigilant iron wood stove supplies cheerful flame and heat in the winter. --The ergonomic kitchen features upgraded antique-glass front cabinets centered around a large working island, with Corian counters, throughout. An iron pot rack and plenty of storage keeps everything within arm's reach. There's a large walk-in pantry, ceramic cooktop, and convection oven. -- Overlooking the entire room is a sizable four-room loft, with a bedroom (currently used as a home office), full bath, and living area (used as a music room), and a large walk-in Christmas closet. -- From the main room, the vintage pine floors also lead to a carpeted library media room, across the hall from a full bath with inlaid special Mexican tile floors and accents. Next door, the large laundry room--done in the same sunny Mexican tile as the bathroom--features long countertops, a stainless steel sink, and tons of room for storage. -- Entering the "bedroom wing," the spacious peaceful master bedroom faces south, with access onto the deck through exterior french doors. A walk-in bonus closet provides general storage for suitcases, blankets, and the like. The bedroom opens into the master bath, with a Jacuzzi tub overlooking 3.2 acres of unspoiled forest land. Also in this bathroom, a large tiled shower and steam shower, double sinks, built-in vanity, and spacious his and hers walk-in closets. -- Upstairs in this wing are two bedrooms connected by a hallway and a full Jack-and-Jill bath. Each has large closets and 5- or 6-foot long windows that let in lots of natural light. -- Upstairs and down, the master and Jack-and-Jill suites have zoned HVAC, which allows each to be set to a different temperature. Rooms in this wing are supplied by a tankless hot water heater, with virtually unlimited hot water. -- Also upstairs is an attic for storage.
