To spot the Cherry House, look ahead for a crisp white two-and-a-half-story home with charming dormer windows, a grand semicircular portico at the door, and a sweeping lawn framed by shady trees.
Now, let’s imagine it’s 1930, and this stately house is just finishing construction, its crisp brick veneer gleaming beneath the Arkansas sun. The Cherry House stands out as the pride of Edgemont, considered by many to be the best Colonial Revival-style home in the neighborhood. If homes had egos, this one would definitely strut around! Just picture lively weekend gatherings in the early days, the sound of laughter drifting out as neighbors strolled by, admiring the fresh paint and elegant Georgian details. The main block of the house, flanked by single-story wings, practically stretches out for a welcoming hug-or maybe it’s just showing off the two-story wing to the left and a very stylish garage to the right. People whispered that Cherry House set the standard in Edgemont, watching its timeless portico as a symbol of status. In 1992, this house got a new claim to fame: a spot on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, the Cherry House still looks ready to host another century of stories-just make sure not to trip on those distinguished front steps!
