There are houses that provide shelter, then there are homes that tell a story. Step into the Smoot House, a La Plata landmark where 132 years of the town’s history reside within its walls. The exterior features a striking Victorian turret and an inviting, wide wrap around front porch. On entry, the original camphor glass windows cast soft light upon the grand stairway. To the left, is a study that offers a peaceful haven. The original dining room now serves as a family room, featuring an original working fireplace. Solid hardwood floors lead to the former kitchen, now an office, retaining its original pocket doors and a charming back staircase to the second floor. A modern kitchen addition creates a comfortable gathering area where there is room not only for dining, but for seating around a modern gas fireplace. The extra wide hallway on the second floor features a charming seating nook with a large window overlooking the town. There are three bedrooms on the second floor. The primary includes an attached full bath, and original fireplace mantel as does a second bedroom, adding historical touches. A third staircase on this floor leads to an attic bedroom where there is plenty of storage. The large yard is almost one-half acre. The property still has the original carriage house, that was once used as an office. It has electricity and an old fireplace with mantel. Three generations of the Smoot family lived in this home. It has weathered two tornado, captured the hearts of artists, and graced the pages of numerous publications. The current owners acquired the home after it was restored in 2006, creating a comfortable home with modern amenities. This home is not just a house but a rare opportunity to own a piece of history.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
