Historic Charm Meets Modern Luxury in the Heart of Waco, TX.
Prepare to be captivated by this remarkable residence located in the highly sought-after Castle Heights area, affectionately known as "The Old Charmer" from its featured appearance on the pilot episode of the hit show "Fixer Upper.” This historic home, with a detached guest suite or a potential income-producing studio apartment ties the past century seamlessly into the present with its thoughtful renovations and elegant touches. The main house has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, including a large primary suite, formal and informal living spaces, and a bonus room, perfect for a home office, craft space, or kid's play room.
While many renovations erase a home's character and charm, the interior of this welcoming 1924-built home emphasizes a rich blend of old and new. Original hardwood floors - refinished to excellence in 2014 - guide you through each room, while updated gleaming White River granite surfaces comprise all the home's countertops. The kitchen, exceptionally large for a home of this era, is a perfect mix of charm and function. It has updates that maintain the original character of a 1920s home, including period shaker cabinets and an original crystal chandelier, along with modern stainless steel appliances and a vast island.
Historic charm continues with two large cedar-lined closets, Rookwood fireplace tiles from the late 1880s, French doors to the dining room, and more. The modern updates include new electrical and plumbing systems, implemented in 2014 and 2015 respectively, along with new HVAC systems for both stories (downstairs is as new as 2021), and spray-foam insulation installed upstairs. The old and new blend in this home in the stylings of each and every space, from the timeless hex tile in the downstairs bathrooms, subway tile in the kitchen and primary bathroom to the custom door and entry casings that match the original specs.
Stepping outdoors, you will be amazed by the size and luxury
