Property Description

Nestled on a lush .69-acre lot in the heart of Smithville’s coveted "The Hill" neighborhood, this beautifully preserved heritage home, dating back to 1895, offers a rare blend of historic charm and modern comfort in a serene, park-like setting along with fully a remodeled (2020) guest house with cedar walls and ceiling, a full kitchen, tiled walk-in shower, and plenty of charm—an ideal space for visitors, rental income, or extended family. The main house welcomes you with a spacious wraparound porch overlooking manicured grounds, mature shade trees, and tranquil garden spaces. Inside, you’ll find original Cypress siding, Queen Anne stained glass doors, soaring ceilings, and detailed trim that reflect the home's rich history. A central room with custom shiplap adds rustic elegance, while the living spaces are filled with natural light and vintage character. The thoughtfully updated kitchen features original beadboard ceilings, tall glass-front cabinets, sleek white quartz countertops, subway tile, and a classic 1955 Chambers gas stove—perfect for both daily living and entertaining. The first-floor bath is a peaceful retreat, complete with a cast iron clawfoot tub and wraparound windows for an airy, spa-like feel. Upstairs, the finished attic offers a versatile space with a second bathroom—ideal for guest quarters, a creative studio, or home office. Outdoor highlights include a shady BBQ area beside the original carriage house, plenty of space for gardening or expansion, and multiple adjoining lots offering future potential and flexibility. Modern upgrades such as a leveled pier-and-beam foundation (1995), updated plumbing and gas lines (1995), new metal roof (2020), HVAC system (2022), and gas water heater (2020) provide peace of mind while honoring the home’s historic roots.
