"This home has masterful features that you can not find in a world of new construction." -Architect Historical Designs Magazine This 4 bedroom / 2 bathroom historic home has the benefits of solid old-style construction and modern upgrades. Built in 1932 by the then-mayor of Jonesboro and professional home builder who put his heart and soul into this custom home, it has been completely updated while preserving the the original oak hard wood floors, cedar 2x4s, glass door knobs, antique door latches, skeleton keys, claw foot soaking tub, custom antique crown molding, vintage built in cabinetry, and even secret rooms!
