3 Beds ⋅ 3 Baths ⋅ 7688314 MLS

A hidden room and upstairs suite with its own entrance. The listing photos don't do it justice. At 2,118 square feet, this 3 bedroom, 3 full bath home has considerably more space than the exterior lets on. Bamboo floors run throughout, and the kitchen was updated for someone who actually cooks: granite counters, a deep farmhouse sink, a five burner ceramic cooktop, and a built in wall oven. Comfort here is designed in, not added on. Electric fireplaces anchor both levels, and several ceiling fans include ceramic heaters — the kind of detail you appreciate in January. Then there's the part that steals every showing. A bookcase that swings open to a hidden room with a safe inside. Yes, really. Upstairs is a private retreat with its own separate entrance off the back of the home: a bedroom, a living area with kitchenette, and a full bath with a walk in shower. Come and go without ever crossing the main level — well suited for guests or a home office suite. Out back, the original garage offers alley access plus a small workshop for projects and storage. With a dependable rental history behind it, the home is now vacant, move-in ready, and easy to show. No tenant to work around, no punch list waiting on the new owner. Schedule a showing and find the hidden room for yourself.

Come own a piece of history and create a space to swoon over. Classic late 1800s/early 1900s construction: long-leaf / ship lap underneath much of the drywall, original wood floors under the carpet, remove the dropped ceiling from a couple of rooms and enjoy high ceilings throughout. Restore this former beauty to her original glory and have a show-stopper to wow anyone who visits. On a double lot all the way to the alley in charming Smithville, just a few blocks from downtown Main St. Plenty of square footage for the new owners to spread out - three bedrooms, three living areas, a dining room, and a huge kitchen space share 1967 sq ft downstairs. Plus there is an additional approx. 875 sq ft of finished space upstairs. Room to roam inside and out! Happy to provide a recommendation for a lender who can do both a purchase and construction loan – this will not qualify for conventional financing.
