Property Description
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.
