802 Short St

Nearly a century of charm, thoughtfully updated. Built in 1928, this classic Smithville cottage sits on a level, tree-shaded 0.193-acre city lot, with a brick walkway leading to a covered front porch made for slow mornings and evening visits. Inside, original wood floors, high ceilings, and tall windows fill the open living and dining areas with natural light. The kitchen blends vintage character with everyday function. It has white cabinetry, subway tile, open shelving, a wood-plank ceiling, a gas range, a stainless refrigerator, a dishwasher, and pantry storage. Both bedrooms are on the main level. The primary is lined with windows overlooking the trees, and the full bath has a clawfoot tub and pedestal sink. Out back, a detached office/studio with French doors is ready for remote work, music, art, or a quiet retreat. The garage has a dedicated laundry room and workshop space, and plenty of parking. The fenced backyard is level and roomy, shaded by mature trees, with plenty of space for gardening, play, or entertaining. The home has public water and sewer, natural gas, and central heat and air. There’s no HOA, and it is not in a FEMA flood zone. It is zoned to Smithville ISD and close to the shops, dining, parks, and river recreation of historic Smithville. This home offers character, flexible space, and small-town living at its best. Schedule your showing today!
