$1.3 M ‘Fixer to Fabulous’ Lake House in Arkansas Quickly Reels in a Buyer

Remodeled $1.3 M ‘Fixer to Fabulous’ Lake House Quickly Reels in a Buyer

Realtor.com

A lake house in Bella Vista, AR, splashed onto the market a little more than a week ago as the highest-priced home listing in the area, at $1,295,000. The picturesque place immediately snagged a new owner.

It’s probably no surprise that the dwelling was in demand. The two-bedroom, 2.5-bath abode was renovated by Dave and Jenny Marrs of HGTV’s “Fixer to Fabulous.”

The home’s locale on the shores of Loch Lomand, one of Bella Vista’s seven lakes, also could have something to do with its sale for more than double the area’s median price.

Bella Vista is known as a posh retirement community, adjacent to Bentonville.

From blah to beautiful

The Marrs duo purchased the property in 2019 for $400,000.

The home improvement specialists more than tripled the property’s value by remodeling the house from the basement to the rafters. They added extra living space and expanded the windows to take full advantage of the remarkable lakefront views.

As for the dated exterior, the couple removed the original brick veneer and replaced it with natural cedar shake siding.

On the main level, the pair installed white oak hardwood floors. The expanded kitchen now features a five-burner gas stove, double oven, farmhouse sink, and light blue cabinetry.

The refreshed primary suite has a balcony overlooking the lake. The main bath features a stand-alone tub, double vanities, and a double shower, embellished with eye-catching tile.

The lower level has a bonus room, kitchenette, and full bath. There’s also a partitioned-off bedroom space. The space has its own entrance, so it could even serve as a short-term rental.

The backyard, which overlooks the lake, also got the full Marrs treatment. Behold the fire pit and seating area. And a renovated boathouse now includes a covered dining area with a bar and TV, a storage room, and a boat slip with a lift.

“I know, I know … I say it all the time but, y’all, [this] home may be my all-time favorite,” Jenny wrote on her website.

Apparently, it was a big hit with buyers, too. An offer was made and accepted almost as soon as the waterfront home appeared on the market.
