Dive into years of history with this distinguished early 1900s brick home, nestled in the heart of Stamps, Arkansas, the childhood home of renowned poet Maya Angelou. Established as a bustling lumber town during the late 19th century, Stamps saw prosperity during the late 20th century, and this home, perched at the crossroads of Church and Opera streets, played a pivotal role in the town's development.

Years ago, original city plats unveiled their footprint close by, marking the beginnings of this vibrant town. The abstract of this beloved home chronicles when the lumber company-planned streets were handed over to the city. Adding a touch of antiquity, the century-old American Gothic Presbyterian Church graces the vista from this property.

Reflecting its rich history, the original deed of this home states that crops cultivated on the premises at 500 Church Street were allowed to be traded to the fast-growing Bodcaw Lumber's milling of yellow pine. Historically, the house also sheltered the Kelly Drug Store, operating as the local pharmacy.

This unique property has served as a cherished residence to three families, over the years. Adding to the charm, a magnificent Magnolia tree, possibly as old as the home itself, stands proudly at the vicinity. Identified by local specialists, the tree itself is a piece of living history.

This home, while retaining its original charm, also boasts of comprehensive modern upgrades. It comes with a brand new roof showcasing detailed architectural style shingles with ridge vents, updated water and gas lines, improvements in electrical fittings, and fresh base cabinets in the kitchen. Additional refinements include stylish porcelain tile flooring suited to the home's era, new pedestal sinks, and efficient plumbing faucets and toilets in both bathrooms.

Moreover, the property harbors potential for obtaining the National Registry Status, considering its historical and architectural value. This recognition could subsequently facilitate state and federal tax credits. With additional energy-efficient upgrades, you may also be eligible for benefits from Entergy Arkansas, the local electrical utility provider.

Another intriguing facet of this property is the original garage apartment, complete with a permanent structure. Although the apartment is no longer there, with a new roof, it could serve as a multifunctional detached building ideal for a workshop or she-shed.

A beacon of history, with a mix of modern upgrades, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home rising over 2,125 sqft on a 0.38 acre lot is a testament to time, offered for sale "as is." Find the essence of quiet suburban living in this one-of-a-kind abode. Showings are available on Saturdays, upon request. Is it time you made it yours?
