908 Washington Street in Weston, Missouri is an 1880 Victorian in the Meeks Addition of Platte County, set on a third of an acre inside city limits and best known locally as the Firefly Inn. With only six owners since the late 1800s, the home offers 3,978 total square feet with 2,652 above grade and 1,326 finished below, four bedrooms and four full baths plus a half bath. The three upstairs bedrooms each have hardwood floors and private en suites, while the lower-level fourth bedroom includes a full bath and sitting area, ideal as an owner’s suite for an innkeeper.

The kitchen was updated with LVP flooring, a professional gas oven, a wine fridge, and a butler’s pantry with a double wall oven. Original woodwork, tall ceilings, and large leaded glass windows carry through the formal living room, dining room, den, and parlor, with a library, office, mud room, and balcony loft rounding out the floor plan. Outside is a fully fenced, extra-large landscaped yard with a gazebo, deck, and covered front porch. The home once served as the filming location for a Lifetime Christmas movie, sits in the West Platte R-II school district, and is a short walk to Main Street in downtown Weston.
