About this home
Featured on the Magnolia Network’s Fixer Upper: Welcome Home, where Chip and Joanna Gaines beautifully transformed the home, The Cottage on Washington offers a rare opportunity to own a Magnolia-renovated property in the heart of Waco, Texas.
Originally built in the 1930s and thoughtfully restored, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage blends historic character with elevated modern living. Just minutes from downtown Waco and Baylor University, the home sits in the highly desirable Castle Heights neighborhood and is zoned O-2, offering versatility for use as a private residence, boutique office, or short-term rental investment.
Along with its stunning design transformation, the home underwent an infrastructure refresh including major system upgrades such as a new roof, windows, updated plumbing and electrical systems, new HVAC, and insulation!
At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen features Carrara marble countertops, custom cabinetry, and GE Profile appliances, creating an exceptional space for both everyday living and entertaining. Casement windows with a custom diamond mullion pattern frame views of the surrounding canopy, adding storybook charm.
The living room centers around a wood-burning fireplace and is framed by extraordinary 100-year-old hand-hewn reclaimed wood beams sourced from New York, a remarkable architectural feature. Original hardwood floors run throughout the home, contributing to its timeless character.
The primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat, complete with a charming reading nook. The spa-inspired bath features a stunning walk-in shower and abundant natural light, creating a serene setting.
Step outside to a spacious backyard surrounded by a privacy fence and shaded by beautiful mature pecan trees, offering endless possibilities for outdoor living or future expansion.
With its Magnolia design pedigree and prime Waco location, The Cottage on Washington represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Waco design history....
