Olive House in Smithville! ~ Step into a piece of Smithville history with the iconic Eagleston House, affectionately known today as Olive House. Originally built in 1891 by prominent businessman E.H. Eagleston, this grand residence offers 3767 square feet of timeless character and modern refinement, ideally situated on a spacious corner lot in the heart of downtown. From the moment you arrive, the home makes a lasting impression with its wrap-around porches, glowing gas lanterns, and towering trees. Inside, you’ll find original long-leaf pine floors, soaring ceilings, and beautifully preserved period details that speak to the home's rich legacy. Once a lively gathering place during Prohibition—welcoming railroad men, soldiers, and late-night card games—the Olive House is steeped in local lore and enduring charm. Lovingly restored in 2022 under the thoughtful direction of the current owner, the home has been carefully modernized while maintaining its historic soul. The main residence spans 2,863 square feet and includes two bedrooms, one full bathroom, and two half baths. A detached guest house provides an additional 904 square feet, featuring one bedroom and one full bath on the first level, along with a bedroom or bonus room and half bath upstairs—perfect for guests, extended family, or a private studio. Zoned for both residential and commercial use, this property offers incredible versatility. Whether you're looking for a private home, an amazing event venue, a boutique business, or a blend of all, the Olive House is a rare and remarkable opportunity to own a landmark in the heart of Smithville.
