About This Property

Olive House — A Smithville Landmark! Step into a living piece of Smithville history with the iconic Eagleston House, lovingly known today as Olive House. Built in 1891 by prominent local businessman E.H. Eagleston, this grand Victorian residence embodies timeless character, modern comfort, and a deep connection to the town’s heritage. Perfectly positioned on a spacious corner lot in downtown Smithville, the 3,767-square-foot property captures attention with its wrap around porches, glowing gas lanterns, and stately shade trees. Inside, beautifully preserved long-leaf pine floors, tall ceilings, and period millwork tell the story of more than a century of craftsmanship and care. Once a lively gathering place during Prohibition—hosting railroad men, soldiers, and card players late into the night—The Olive House has long been woven into the fabric of Smithville’s social history. In 2022, the home underwent a thoughtful restoration, blending historic integrity with modern updates that honor its original spirit. The main residence spans 2,863 square feet, offering two bedrooms, two full baths, and one half bath. Just steps away, a detached guest house adds another 904 square feet with a bedroom and full bath on the main level and a flex bedroom or studio space with half bath upstairs—ideal for guests, extended family, or a creative workspace. Zoned for residential and commercial use, the property offers exceptional versatility. Whether envisioned as a private residence, boutique business, event venue, or a unique hybrid of all three, The Olive House is a rare opportunity to own a cherished landmark at the heart of Smithville.
