Dating back to 1887 and proudly listed on the Historic Register acquired from the original owner's descendants, spans three lots facing Main Street within the enchanting Smithville Historic District. What sets this residence apart is its rare zoning, allowing for commercial use, historic preservation, and residential occupancy, offering a unique canvas for various possibilities. The property has undergone meticulous renovations to seamlessly integrate modern amenities while preserving its historical charm. Recent upgrades include repointed and reinforced pier and beam foundations, a new sewer line, gas connections, and entirely replaced plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems, ensuring optimal functionality. With its smart-design HVAC, four AC units, and energy efficient LED lighting, comfort is paramount in every season. The exterior of this historic home boasts rare 19” wide columns, sweeping verandas, wood Dutch lap siding, and meticulously refurbished original windows, some with hand-blown glass. The lush surroundings feature magnolia trees, Charleston-style shutters, and lawns re-sodded with St. Augustine grass. The courtyard fences, designed to be Jack Russell-proof, stand on concrete foundations adorned with climbing roses. The property's numerous trees are healthy and have been inspected by a certified arborist. Inside, historic materials, such as reclaimed shiplap and bead board, seamlessly merge with modern elements. Custom-built cabinetry and quartz countertops showcase the commitment to quality. The grand oval stair with a keyhole feature, soaring ceilings, and new hardwood and luxury vinyl flooring contribute to the interior's spacious feel. Modern comforts abound, including an LG HE washer-dryer set, Bosch appliances in the kitchen, and LED lighting throughout. This residence seamlessly combines the best of both worlds, offering a chance to own a piece of Smithville's history while indulging in the conveniences of contemporary living.
