Description

Castles are cool and all, but this may just be the most uniquely located property available anywhere in Central Texas right now!

Now offering a $10,000.00 Buyer Credit and $5000.00 Buyer Agent Bonus paid upon successful closing with an accepted full-price offer!

Welcome to Steinbeck Bend. This unique area located in the bend of the Brazos River between China Spring and Downtown Waco is lush with farmlands and wide open prairies. Best yet, it's situated in the A-rated Bosqueville ISD and just a few minutes drive to Bridge Street, Cameron Park, Downtown Waco, and all things Baylor, including McLane Stadium and the new basketball arena. An isolated wide-open feel in the heart of the city and an A-rated school district? There's no other location quite like it on the market today!

Situated in the middle of these wide open spaces is 517 Old Steinbeck Rd. The main home is positioned back off the main road adding to its isolated appeal. The house is 2 stories featuring 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms in 2310 square feet of living space. Inside, you'll find a place primed for your personal touch. There's so much opportunity to envision for this home, it's incredible! Let your dreams run wild in the open spaces and ample bedrooms. Sip your morning coffee on your screened-in back porch watching the sun rising over the back pasture or use the space to enjoy a cold beverage as the cicadas and crickets sing their evening songs. The possibilities are endless! Just outside the main house is an 864 SF fully insulated secondary building that had previously been used as a woodshop, library, and sunroom overlooking the neighboring tree-lined property. The out-building is equipped with air conditioning and heating systems along with a fully-functioning wood-burning stove. The 1.6 acre lot feels much larger due primarily to the abundance of open land surrounding it. The front of the lot is lined in majestic, mature pecan trees that produce incredible fruit. Behind the main house
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from April 12, 2025
