With over 4,800 square feet total and a fully-equipped guest apartment, on over an acre and a half – this Waco home is unlike any other. -Situated on an exceptionally large lot overlooking hundred-year-old live oaks, visitors are greeted by distinctive wrought-iron ornaments and columns framing the Southern French-style front porch.

The original copper-roofed bay window and French doors exit to the south and bring the rear gardens and brickwork inside to add warmth and live artwork to the sheltered space. – Masterfully crafted hardwood flooring extends through the casual dining area toward the kitchen, where a new 10-foot oak island topped with artistically shaped quartzite anchors the kitchen. -As you move forward, the left side features carefully designed craftsmanship and storage with cabinets designed to look like furniture, a Subzero refrigerator and freezer and two large storage compartments on the north end, both in lightly stained oak with Bouvet hardware.
