About this home

Welcome to one of the finest homes in Smithville—a stunning piece of history, blending timeless charm with modern comforts. This meticulously restored early 1900s residence offers 3 spacious bedrooms and an impressive 4,249 square feet of living space, making it a rare gem in the heart of this quaint town. Originally nestled near Decker Lake in Travis County, the home was carefully relocated to its current location on a lush 4-acre lot, offering approximately 270 feet of serene river frontage along the scenic Colorado River. Rich architectural details define this remarkable home, from the grand front porch to the elegant interior, which boasts high ceilings, original hardwood floors, and intricate moldings. The large kitchen, equipped with a gas stove and electric appliances, is ideal for preparing meals for family and guests, making it both a functional and stylish space. Step outside onto the second-story deck, where breathtaking views await. The deck offers access to a widows walk—an elevated outdoor space where you can take in panoramic views of the river, surrounding landscape, and abundant wildlife. Whether watching the resident deer herd that regularly traipses through the property or marveling at the plentiful hummingbird population, this is the perfect spot to enjoy nature’s beauty. The expansive grounds are equally captivating, featuring a “pocket prairie” with native wildflowers and grasses, providing a sanctuary for migrating bees and butterflies. This habitat also restores the soil's health with deep-rooted plants. The river frontage is a tranquil retreat where one can fish, boat, or simply relax while taking in the beauty of the water. This home effortlessly combines the elegance of historic architecture with the luxury of modern living, offering an exceptional opportunity to own one of Smithville’s most iconic properties. Experience the best of history, nature, and unparalleled lifestyle in this extraordinary riverfront estate.
