THE HOME, IN THE LISTING AGENT’S WORDS
A closer look.
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.

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.
