208 W Bush St, Prairie Grove, AR
There’s nothing better than an elaborately ornate victorian home. All of those fabulous wood details, (often called gingerbread!) wraparound porches, turrets and other adornments are truly fit for a queen. I, personally, can’t get enough of the curb appeal offered by a Queen Anne dripping with details. These are eye-catching from the street and positively mind-blowing from inside, bringing you all of the carved wood and stained glass you could possibly ask for.

The Twiss House, built c. 1907, was designed by George F. Barber and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The ornamental facade is only topped by the FIVE sets of stunning stained glass. A carved wood and yellow tile fireplace in the living room is also extremely eye-catching. Located in a small, but fast-growing, community.

This one is not only a sweet victorian with wood paneling, stone fireplaces and more. There’s also a rustic stone and log cabin on the property that is, perhaps, even more charming. The park-like property is a nice add-on.
