New ListingHistoric Smithville charm with a farmhouse feel and updates for modern living! 503 Wilkes is the kind of home that feels special from the moment you arrive. A classic metal roof, expansive covered front porch, mature trees, natural landscaping, and an inviting flagstone walkway create the unmistakable character of an established Smithville home. This is not cookie-cutter-it's a home with personality, warmth, and a story of its own. Inside, original character blends beautifully with thoughtful updates. Long-leaf pine floors, beadboard accents, updated windows, and abundant natural light create a comfortable and timeless atmosphere. The updated kitchen features quartz countertops, an apron-front porcelain sink, and a butcher-block island that adds both function and farmhouse charm. The main-level primary suite offers a relaxing retreat with a beautifully appointed bath and vintage-style clawfoot tub. The flexible floor plan includes 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, plus an office/study with a closet, providing options for working from home, guests, or additional living space. Recent improvements include a newer metal roof, exterior paint, and updates to electrical and plumbing systems. Outside, the shaded lot and mature trees complement the home's character, while the covered front porch, rear patio, fenced backyard, and off-street parking provide spaces to enjoy everyday life outdoors. Located in historic Smithville, this distinctive property offers something increasingly hard to find-a home with genuine character and architectural charm, combined with updates that make it comfortable for today's lifestyle. If you're looking for something with soul, history, and individuality, 503 Wilkes is worth a closer look.
