Single Family Residence In Hot Springs

Some homes are simply houses. 492 Prospect Ave is a landmark, a Colonial Revival treasure in Hot Springs’ Quapaw-Prospect neighborhood, officially recognized on the National Register of Historic Places by the U. S. Department of the Interior in 2002, joining a handful of area homes already individually recognized for their architectural significance. Developed between 1890 and 1950, this enclave of Quapaw and Prospect streets is prized for its exceptional mix of Colonial Revival, Craftsman, and Queen Anne architecture, and this, the Walter Beauchamp House, is one of its finest examples, blending architectural pedigree with modern comfort in equal measure. Stroll the brick walkway, framed by a low stone wall, with two mature magnolias, and thirteen blooming crepe myrtles, to a deep covered porch complete with a swing and rocking chairs, built for slow evenings and quiet mornings alike. The beautiful front door, with its own ”492” address transom, opens into a grand foyer and entry hall, where a graceful staircase with turned balusters, a crystal chandelier, and gleaming grade ”A” white oak floors set the tone for the whole home.
