Property Description

This is one you just have to see in person. Meticulously renovated to the studs by a local designer, this craftsman-style home perfectly blends character, comfort, and creativity—and with coveted O-3 zoning allowing full short-term rental use, it’s as much an investment as it is a dream home. Adding flexibility, the property includes a two-car garage topped by a finished ~300 sq ft apartment with a bath and sink—ideal as a guest suite, office, gym, or rentable STR studio. Every corner of the main home tells a story, with playful textures, preserved original trim and doors, and thoughtful design choices that honor its heritage while adding modern sophistication. The curb appeal is undeniable—lush landscaping, striking navy exterior, and a stained front porch that feels both welcoming and private. Inside, a seamless open flow is anchored by hand-cut white-oak floors, new windows, and custom built-ins throughout. The living room centers around a gas fireplace framed by detailed millwork and light-filled windows with plantation shutters. The kitchen is a showpiece, featuring Jenn-Air appliances, gas range with pot filler, hidden pantry, farmhouse sink, and custom vent hood. The primary suite offers a wall of built-ins and a serene retreat feel, while the second downstairs bedroom and bath add flexibility. Upstairs, two oversized bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath and a cozy loft, while a charming built-in play nook hides under the stairs. Out back, a breezeway leads to one of Waco’s most impressive outdoor living areas—a true game-day dream. With pine-clad ceilings, dual swings, a mounted TV, and a full outdoor kitchen featuring a built-in smoker, grill, griddle, mini fridge, and sink, it's built for entertaining. The yard also includes a dog run, ivy-covered pergola, and gated parking with alley access. In the desirable Uptown neighborhood, it’s walkable to coffee shops and retail, with a new grocery and park coming soon - a private retreat in the heart of Waco.
