Architecturally Designed MID-Century Home in Ashdown Arkansas

Description

Welcome to 1520 Pine Drive, Ashdown, AR—a residence that harmoniously blends comfort and elegance with a touch of rustic charm. This meticulously maintained property features an array of custom upgrades that emphasize both functionality and aesthetic appeal. This custom MID-Century Home was Architecturally Designed by Little Rock Architect John D. Jarrard - specifically built by Charlie Newton (MAC) McCollum who was very interested in conservation and the environment. Completed in 1977, this home has remained in family ownership ever since. This home was built with Passive Solar, so in the spring & fall, when the windows are open, the Southwest prevailing winds blow over the house which creates a suction of the Hot Air out through the clerestory windows. Let us begin with the exterior.

The facade showcases a timeless design with a generous application of hand picked river rock that extends a warm invitation. The property is framed by a lush, manicured lawn, and wooded property line provides privacy without detracting from the scenic vistas of the surrounding neighborhood. The home's high-end Pella crank-out Windows not only infuse the living spaces with an abundance of natural light but also offer enhanced insulation, promising energy efficiency throughout the seasons.

Stepping inside you are immediately greeted with the abundance of natural light - From the family room that exudes a sense of warmth and comfort. The space is anchored by a custom river rock fireplace which circulates warm air through the HVAC ventilation through the entire home, creating an ideal environment for cozy family gatherings. All the river rocks used were hand picked & placed inside and out! Vaulted ceilings with exposed wooden beams add to the room's character, while the sliding glass doors provide a seamless transition to outdoor living spaces. Adjacent to the family room is a sun-drenched sunroom, an oasis perfectly positioned off the kitchen and breakfast area. Originally built as a green house - It offers a versatile space for relaxation or casual dining while enjoying views of the outdoors. The kitchen itself boasts a modern touch, fitted with an ample suite of cabinetry and a central island—a layout designed for culinary efficiency and social interaction. Spacious large laundry room, conveniently featuring a half bath offers cabinetry, sink, and countertops with ample room for ironing! It overlooks the massive trees in the backyard and allows for that occasional peek on the children playing. This practical addition underscores the thoughtfulness that went into every aspect of the home's design. In addition, the 4 year old remodel lended itself to new composite siding, roof, floors in key areas, sinks, light fixtures, columns, patio, & even a wall removal which allowed the kitchen to be a more modern open concept with the central island. New AC was also installed in 2023. There are four entrances to the home, lots of little private nooks / getaways for moments of peace, self reflection, and private study (roof off garage, sunroom off master, covered patio in the rear) so you'll be quick to fall in love with this truly unique & Family Functional Design!
