1419 South Main Street

Description

The last of three grand mansions built along South Main Street when the railroad came to Jonesboro. Set behind a large, white wall on approximately 1.22 acres, this grand estate is introduced by a circular drive and mature magnolia trees. Positioned near the medical district and within walking distance of Downtown Jonesboro's Entertainment District, it offers both access and privacy for those relocating to Jonesboro for medical, legal, or executive opportunities. The home reflects an earlier era of scale, with over 4,500 square feet above ground and an additional basement level suited for recreation, storage, or a safe room. The main level features a large living room with fireplace, pecan paneled den for a home office or library, formal dining, sunroom, and screened porch. The kitchen is designed for the best parties or everyday living, with a six-burner gas cooktop, double ovens, statement backsplash, and two oversized walk-in pantriesone that could be converted to a prep or sous-kitchen. Living and entertaining transitions easily from interior to exterior. Upstairs, the primary ensuite offers privacy, along with three additional bedrooms, incredibly generous storage, and access to additional baths. Recent improvements include fresh interior paint, original parquet floors restored to a piano-gloss finish, and professionally pressure-washed hardscape and exterior surfaces enhance the home's picture perfect presence. Outdoor living on this oversized lot is among the most extraordinary along South Main. The grounds include a detached three-car garage with workroom, an in-ground pool with dual pool houses, and a large private putting green with five holes, constructed of poured concretea distinctive feature rarely found in Northeast Arkansas homes. The pool can easily be uncovered and readied for summer. Located along one of Jonesboro's most established corridors, with proximity to St. Bernards, the medical district, and central business areas, this property offers a rare combination of scale, setting, location and history. This is not simply a historic home in Jonesboro Arkansasit is a rare South Main offering that reflects a specific moment in the city's growth, and today, it stands alone as the only remaining grand mansion built when the railroad built Jonesboro.
