Welcome to The Heartbreak House — a 2,904 SF gem on one of Fayetteville’s most beloved streets, Block Avenue. Zoned Main Street Center, this versatile 4 bed, 2 bath property has lived many lives: cherished home, ballet studio, intimate concert venue, analog recording studio, and creative commercial office space. Steps from the city’s favorite restaurants, bars, the U of A, performing arts centers, and Razorback Greenway, its location is unmatched. The kitchen was fully renovated down to the studs in 2013, blending modern function with timeless charm. Original wood floors and trim have been lovingly preserved, complemented by updated electrical, plumbing, and new windows in the kitchen and upstairs. Original windows remain in the main studio, preserving its historic soul. A rare, character-filled space in the heart of downtown, ready for its next chapter. Also listed as Commercial (ML# 1316833).
