3721 Austin Avenue

Nestled behind sprawling pecan trees and an established landscape sits an Austin Avenue estate awaiting its new owner. Just a short drive or even walk from local hotspots like Pinewood Coffee Bar, Harvest on 25th, and Downtown Waco amenities! A central location is hard to find in a neighborhood as esteemed as Castle Heights. The historic Austin Avenue is home to some of Waco’s most storied homes. This home touches elements of a Tudor Revival while also being unique to its own design. As you approach the property, your mind will start to wonder about the stories this house could tell of social gatherings, family events, and life-long memories. Constructed by Wilton & Ethel Lanning in 1929, the original design and layout have been preserved while adding modern amenities for comfortability. The arched entry gives way to an open living space with hardwood floors that lead to the dining room. The natural light makes its way through the front of the home so well that you’ll hardly need the recessed lighting until evening. The large dining room leads you to the kitchen with a traditional style that transcends time. This galley kitchen has great storage and countertop space and moves well for the active chef. On the opposite side of the home is a converted flex space that was believed to be the carriage house attached to the home - the current owner used this space as an office and yoga studio. The three upstairs bedrooms consist of a primary bedroom and two guest bedrooms. The primary bedroom has an updated bathroom and a walk-out patio. The two guest rooms share an updated hall bath. Detached and behind the main house sits a two-car garage with upstairs living quarters equipped with a kitchenette, living room, and bedroom with a full bathroom. The guest house has hardwood floors and an abundance of privacy. As of December 2022, a new roof was installed to help ease the mind of any potential buyer. A historic Waco home with a storied past is something that rarely hits the market. If you’re interested in adding to this home’s memories, schedule a tour today!
