The Luster Urban Farmstead is a historic house at 487 North Central Avenue in Batesville, Arkansas. It is a two-story wood-frame I-house with a rear single-story ell. The main facade is five bays wide, with a central two-story porch. Fishscale shingles provide a decorative element on parts of its walls, and windows have molded hoods.
