About this home

A rare find on Main St, this 1902 Victorian is packed with the kind of character you simply cannot build today. Original hardwood floors, ornate millwork, welcoming porches & a balcony carry the charm throughout, all set on 0.846 acres just blocks from the downtown square. This home has quite the story too. Headed for demolition years ago, it was saved & moved 6 blocks down Main St, earning a Historic Waxahachie Residential Preservation award in 2010. That move is why a century old home sits on concrete piers drilled to bedrock, w all new plumbing & electric. Main level primary suite plus 3 more bdrms upstairs with 2 full baths & tons of storage. The kitchen, dining & living spaces are made for gathering, & a balcony off the upstairs invites morning coffee overlooking Main St. Step outside to a private pool tucked 7 ft below street level behind a stacked stone wall & cascading waterfalls, added in 2011 along w a guest home & pool barn. The guest home offers 2 bdrms & 1 bath of its own, ideal for guests, a work from home setup, or a long term lease, & has already proven itself as a successful short term rental. The pool barn brings a stone fireplace, bar window, private bdrm & full bath, perfect for weekend gatherings or small events. Buyer to verify city approval & permitting requirements for STR, event, or B&B use. Oversized heated 4 car garage w room for a full workshop rounds out the property, just blocks from the historic downtown square & the rail line that put Waxahachie on the map. Built by newlyweds Willia Getzendaner & S.P. Skinner, this home saw Skinner elected President Pro Tempore of the Texas Senate just 5 yrs later. Current owners have called it home since 2015, filling it w birthdays, holidays & front row seats to the Main St parades that pass by every year. Home turns 125 next year & is ready for its next chapter. Most homes come with a listing sheet. This one comes with a history you can verify.
