254 Spring St, Eureka Springs, AR – $289,000
4 bed, 2 bath, 2280 square feet. Built by Perkins Lumber Mill in 1881. Here is the street view.

While looking for this house, I found a few cool places that I thought I’d show you. Check out this place next door to the house for sale, decked out for Christmas. And what a cool name, Arsenic and Old Lace Bed and Breakfast.

: I think Eureka Springs has some of the most beautiful Victorians in the United States.

: Well, look here. You’d be just across the street from this house. Hey, mom, you buy one and I’ll buy the other and we can live across the street from each other!

: I know the furniture rocks, but I really wanted to see the house.

: Limestone fireplace.

: I like the cabinets. The weeds would have to go though.

: Looks like a pretty room. What I’m guessing is wallpaper or a stone mural. I really like the bed and the chandelier though.

2008 Scott, Little Rock, AR – $150,000
5 bed, 2.5 bath, 2846 square feet. Cute, but a little too close to town for me.

: You can see downtown from this tiny window.

: This cute room shows what the potential is. How cute is that window?

: Is that a hint? (Handman magazine.)

: Attic steps. Look at the dust!

400 W Martin, Pine Bluff, AR – ~~$100,000~~ $89,999 No longer listed.
3 bed, 3 bath, 2004 square feet. This has transom windows, 12′ ceilings, glass doorknobs, all the things to make an old house lover tingly.

: Not a fan of the color or the bushes, but I could do something with it. Sorry, I just hate satellite dishes attached to houses (new or old.)

: I normally like booshelves, but these particle shelves would be gone.

: I love the built-in corner cabinet.

: Love the mantle, not sure what is going on with the wood/insert/what is that part called?

: Like the cabinets, even the color. Hate th pink paneling (which could be painted.) But that ceiling would have to go. So would the counters, look closer and you can see the sides are peeling off.

: Although no tub, okay bathroom. You can see a glimmer of one of the glass doorknobs.
