Description

Welcome to Historic Downtown Waco. This original home is located less than a mile from Magnolia Silos, which can be easily seen from the kitchen window or the back porch. Complete with the original wooden door, hitching post, and antique, working doorbell; a walk through this home really shows you the history that made Waco what it is today. This home atop a hill boasts well-maintained hardwood floors throughout - kitchen and bathroom have been updated with newer flooring. Some portions of foundation have remained the sturdy cedar posts. Tall, vaulted ceilings in kitchen need finishing. This home can be converted to a short term rental property, AirBnb VRBO, per Waco property code. No neighbors on either side provide more privacy. But hurry before another one pops up too close. Can easily install mini split for cooling heating needs. Great investment opportunity by location and room for renovations. The large backyard with plenty of shade from the Texas sun extends far giving you plenty of room for bbq grilling. Extra backyard cabin with a history of it's own makes for a great storage and hangout spot. Make this property your own, schedule a showing today.

    "I live in the neighborhood, it's close to downtown, Baylor and I 35. Shopping and dining options are within walking distance. The neighborhood is very nice and friendly, mostly quiet at night. The only obstacles are the construction 🚧 sites in the area otherwise the area is very good and a great place to work, live, or to visit. "

    "Terrace Gardens is magic. Only live here if you’re community oriented and don’t mind a little noise every once and a while. If there’s ever any, it comes from St Francis Church or from The Backyard and the music travels up the hill."

    "Great place even for a young family. Lots to do, but school district is less than ideal once they hit school age. You’d have to move. "

    "It’s an old renovated high school. It’s unique and gives a big city vibe. We are close to live music on the weekends, good eats, a river and parks. "
