About This Property
Welcome to the beloved Hillcrest Estate, beautifully reimagined by Chip and Joanna Gaines. This extraordinary property embodies Southern charm at its finest, blending timeless character, refined updates, and thoughtful design throughout. Nestled on 1.9 picturesque acres in the heart of Waco, the estate features a fully renovated main residence and detached guest cottage, both impeccably designed and styled. All furnishings, decor, and accessories are included, creating a turnkey opportunity. Inside, rich hardwood floors, extensive trim and millwork, elegant wainscoting, and abundant natural light enhance the home's inviting atmosphere. Generously sized living and dining spaces offer effortless flow for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a breakfast nook. Privately situated on the main level, the spacious primary suite offers a spa-inspired bath with an oversized soaking tub, separate shower, and dual vanities. The detached 1-bedroom, 1-bath guest cottage provides exceptional flexibility and privacy with its own patio, secluded backyard access, a 2-car garage, and additional carport parking. Ideal for multigenerational living, extended guests, or potential income, the space offers comfort and versatility. Impeccably landscaped and fully fenced, the grounds feature a private gated drive-through entrance, a firepit beneath sprawling oak trees, multiple patios for entertaining, a potting shed, and a charming children's cottage. The separately fenced lawn offers space for a future pool, garden, sport court, or additional outdoor living. Conveniently located near downtown Waco, Ridgewood Country Club, and Baylor University, Hillcrest Estate offers a rare opportunity to own one of Waco's most iconic properties, blending history, character, comfort, and style.
