    What's special

    Sculpted railingsDistinctive turretsMultiple levelsPost-wwii stone residenceBell-cast domeHidden among mature treesCurved stone staircase
    Hidden among mature trees in Paris, Arkansas, this remarkable post-WWII stone residence feels as though it was transported from another place and time. Handcrafted from local river rock, its distinctive turrets, curved stonework, sculpted railings, bell-cast dome and winding exterior staircase create a home with the character of a European country retreat and the whimsy of something discovered in a storybook. Its history is every bit as memorable as its architecture. Local legend holds that the home was painstakingly built by a father as a gift for his daughter—a true labor of love shaped by hand. The story continues with an extraordinary family tradition: each year for her birthday, a piano was reportedly hoisted onto the rear balcony, where she would play for family and friends gathered below. Inside, approximately 1,985 square feet unfold across multiple levels with 3 bedrooms and 1½ baths, while just over half an acre provides a wonderfully atmospheric setting outside. Follow the curved stone staircase, wander through the gardens, step onto the balcony and look closely at the craftsmanship. This is a property meant to be explored. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, 18 Spruce is more than an unusual home—it's a surviving piece of Arkansas craftsmanship with another story still waiting to be written. For the collector, preservationist, artist, dreamer or buyer searching for a residence that could never be duplicated, welcome to 18 Spruce Street.
