A Historic Home With Heart and Character! Built in 1931, this beautifully maintained Craftsman is the kind of home that feels special the moment you walk through the door. Located in Smithville’s Historic District, it is rich with character, featuring the original beautiful woodwork. With 4 bedrooms (or 3 plus an upstairs flex space) and 2.5 bathrooms in the main house, plus 2 independent guest spaces detached from the house, this property offers a rare combination of historic charm and flexible living spaces. Inside, the welcoming foyer opens to a central living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. The formal dining room connects to an updated kitchen featuring white shaker cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a cheerful built-in breakfast nook overlooking the backyard. The primary suite offers an en-suite bath with a walk-in tile shower, while 2 additional bedrooms share a full bathroom. Upstairs, a generous 4th bedroom or flex space and ½ bath have infinite possibilities. The detached two-story guest house with a 1-bay garage, offers a private 1-bedroom, 1-bath upper apartment with a full kitchen and living area, plus a lower efficiency space with a kitchenette and bath, ideal for guests, home offices, or rental income. Thoughtful improvements include a metal roof (2019), insulation beneath the home (2024), new AC compressor and motherboard (2025), cleaned air ducts, new water heater and sprinkler system. Smithville’s Historic District offers something increasingly hard to find, historic homes, mature trees, quiet streets and a genuine small-town sense of community. There is room to breathe here, with Buescher State Park and Bastrop State Park nearby. Just minutes from historic downtown Smithville, Main Street dining and shops, and with convenient access to Highway 71, you can enjoy the slower pace of small-town living while remaining within reach of Austin and ABIA.
