Description
There are houses that provide shelter, then there are homes that tell a story. step into the smoot house, a la plata landmark where 132 years of the town’s history reside within its walls. originally built in 1893 by mortimore hawkins, then later sold to prominent businessman david smoot, who build the first la plata hotel in 1892. three generations of the smoot family continued to live in the home. this distinguished home has weathered two tornados, captured the hearts of artists, and graced the pages of numerous publications. the current owners acquired the home after it was restored in 2006, creating a comfortable home with modern amenities.
the exterior boasts a striking victorian turret and an inviting, wide wrap around front porch. upon entry, the original camphor glass windows cast soft light upon the grand stairway. to the left, is a study that offers a peaceful haven. the original dining room now serves as a family room, featuring an original working fireplace. solid hardwood floors lead to the former kitchen, now an office, retaining its original pocket doors and a charming back staircase to the second floor. a modern kitchen addition creates a comfortable gathering area where there is room not only for dining, but for seating around a modern gas fireplace.
the extra wide hallway on the second floor features a charming seating nook with a large window overlooking the town. there are three bedrooms on the second floor. the primary includes an attached full bath, and original fireplace mantel as does a second bedroom, adding historical touches. a third staircase on this floor leads to an attic bedroom where there is plenty of storage.
the large yard is almost one-half acre. the property still has the original carriage house, that was once used as an office. it has electricity and an old fireplace with mantel. this home is not just a house but a rare opportunity to own a piece of history.
