A true piece of Smithville history, this 1902 home blends historic character with modern living. Originally built for the daughter of the Buescher family, it stands out with its timeless two-story columns, covered front porch, and second-story balcony, rarely found today. Inside, original longleaf pine floors (restored in 2020), tall ceilings, and large windows preserve its charm while creating an open yet purposeful layout. Downstairs offers a main living area, dining space (now a secondary living room), kitchen, and updated laundry area. The kitchen combines refreshed cabinetry, fixtures, and appliances with period style, plus backyard access. Upstairs, four bedrooms and two bathrooms include a primary suite and another bedroom with working fireplace and balcony access, currently used as an office/TV room. The remaining bedrooms share a hallway bath with walk-in shower. Major updates include a 2020 roof and renovations to the laundry, kitchen, and upstairs baths. Out back, a detached garage apartment with full kitchen and bath is grandfathered under city code and ideal for guests, rental income, or family. The property also includes a large covered carport and a swim spa, enhancing outdoor living. This home offers history, flexibility, and long-term potential right in the heart of Smithville.
