This house, with its large lot, village setting and roomy home office featuring a gas fireplace, is well suited for the work-from-home era. The kitchen features pot lights, stainless steel appliances and a built-in wine rack. There’s a hot tub and a private deck in the backyard, and a bar in the basement’s big rec room.
Seller Renee Langendoen owns a business based in Hamilton, 2GalsProPainting, and is moving to the city’s Beach Boulevard. She said Smithville was great for raising kids but “being a small town out in the country, it’s not ideal for a single empty-nester trying to have a social life.”

The kitchen includes an island with pot lights and hanging light fixtures throughout the room. The bedrooms are all on the second floor, and there is a rec room in the basement. The home also includes a garage. In addition to the green space nearby, including the Chedoke golf course, the townhouse has a fenced-off back patio off the ground floor, with a gate.
