3.5 ACRES GUEST HOUSE NEW ROOF An architectural landmark and one of Waco's most recognizable residences, this extraordinary estate presents a rare opportunity to own one of the city's most iconic homes. Expertly reimagined, restored, and renovated by The Alford Company, the residence blends timeless elegance with modern luxury. Recent enhancements include updated mechanical systems, designer finishes, premium Monogram appliances, a covered patio, and a fourth full bathroom in the main home.
Nestled in the prestigious Hillcrest neighborhood, this remarkable 3.54 acre estate offers exceptional privacy just minutes from Waco's shopping, dining, schools, and attractions. Towering mature trees, walled gardens, abundant wildlife, and picturesque grounds create the feel of a secluded retreat in the heart of the city.
Built in 1957, the 5,153 square-foot main residence was thoughtfully designed for entertaining and everyday living. The main level features three living areas (or two living rooms and a study), two dining spaces, a chef's kitchen with butler's pantry, laundry room, two full baths, and a luxurious primary suite. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms, an office, and two additional full baths.
A beautifully renovated 672 square foot guest house includes a full kitchen, living room, private bedroom, and ensuite bath.
The park like grounds span more than three acres and feature walking trails, verandas, covered patios, a greenhouse, storage buildings, and a charming smokehouse.
Distinctive in every respect, this remarkable estate is a true Waco landmark that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
