About this property

- Along one of Waco’s most respected drives, past the cottages and large midcentury moderns of Lake Air Estates and the majestic streets of Old Oaks, sits this prominent community focal point. With over 4800 sf feet in total with a fully equipped guest apartment included, on over an acre and a half - this Waco home is incomparable. - Set back on the exceptionally large lot and peeking through hundred year old live oak trees, visitors are greeted by a distinguished wrought iron tracery and columns framing a southern French style front porch. The entire estate has been meticulously restored. Refinement continues with its interior, electrical, plumbing, HVAC including ductwork as well as each artistically selected finish and surface, with close attention to detail throughout. Welcoming you with a sweeping staircase and hardwood floors, the classical foyer is framed with formal dining and living spaces to your left and right. Each space is richly ornate with details such as the intricate cornices above each floor to ceiling window, providing stunning views of the surrounding gardens and sprawling lawns, as well as an elegant, marble, wood burning fireplace that centers the large room in a perfect flourish. - The second living area in the rear of the home is comfortably suited and open to the kitchen allowing for easy, more casual living and entertainment. A hidden powder room is adorned with a Sherryl Wagner sink and Artos tap adding elegance to necessity. The large, original, bay window with copper roof and French doors exit to the south and bring the back gardens and brickwork inside to give warmth and living artwork to the otherwise sheltered space. - Masterfully crafted wood floors have been extended through the informal dining area towards the kitchen, where a new 10 foot quartersawn oak island, topped with artistically shaped quartzite anchors the kitchen. - As you move forward, the left side features thoughtfully designed craftsmanship and storage wi
