Currently operating as a successful Airbnb, the home is being offered fully furnished, allowing for an easy transition for those looking to continue its use as an income-producing property or enjoy it as a move-in-ready home. The home is compact in size but thoughtfully laid out to make the most of the space, with original wood flooring, a comfortable living area filled with natural light, and a layout that lives larger than expected. The kitchen is set up for short-term stays with refrigerator, countertop appliances, and storage, with space available to add a range if desired. Bedrooms are inviting and well-sized, and the home has been maintained with a focus on comfort and usability. Positioned on a large lot with mature trees, the outdoor setting adds significant value with open yard space, shade, and room to expand or enhance over time. A privacy fence along one side adds separation, and the corner lot offers additional flexibility and presence. Located just minutes from downtown Smithville, local shops, dining, and events, the property benefits from consistent visitor demand and small-town charm. Whether you're looking for a weekend retreat, full-time residence, or investment property with an established track record, this property offers flexibility and immediate potential. Owner/Agent.
