About this property

1895 Victorian home featured in

An immaculately renovated 1895 Victorian home that was featured in a before and after on Country Living magazine's website. This house has a warm, cozy vibe with original hardwood floors, updated kitchen and bathrooms, tasteful furnishings and a giant back porch for catching the evening breeze. Enjoy the blend of old and new, such as exposed ship lap walls in the dining room and authentic molding throughout against the modern conveniences of a Bosch dishwasher and a Whirlpool washer and dryer. It's perfect for any type of getaway you need — a girls' weekend, a couple's getaway, or anyone interested in what it's really like to live right in the heart of a small Texas town.

Aside from its charm, it is 1/4 mile from all that downtown Waxahachie has to offer. You can meander down to the College Street Pub for a cold beer, live music, and tasty English fare. Or head to Farmluck for lunch and something sweet from their old fashioned soda fountain. Or grab a glass of wine at Cork Haus. If you want a taste of Dallas, head just 20 minutes north on 35 to the Bishop Arts District to eat modern Southern fair at Hattie's.

This home is family friendly and features an upstairs playroom stocked with toys. A pack-n-play is available on request. The home is also within walking distance to Waxahachie's newest splash park, as well as a newly finished playground at the Presbyterian church, just a short walk down Oldham Street.

Waxahachie

Unfortunately we only had two days to spend at this wonderful house. I would love to have stayed longer and will definitely consider staying here again. The house is very lovely, in a quiet neighborhood and close to many restaurants and other sites. The host was excellent in her communication with us, and we would certainly recommend this property to everyone. Great stay!

Awesome Property

If you’re looking for the perfect blend of historic charm and modern convenience, look no further than this listing! The moment you step inside, you’re welcomed by warm, original hardwood floors and tasteful décor that both honors the home’s storied past and indulges in contemporary comforts. From the inviting exposed ship lap walls in the dining room to the meticulously preserved molding, every detail exudes character and charm. Yet the home remains wonderfully up-to-date, offering everything from a Bosch dishwasher in the remodeled kitchen to a Whirlpool washer and dryer. We really enjoyed having a morning cup of coffee on the giant back porch and curling up in a cozy nook with a good book. We felt right at home.Location-wise, you can’t beat being just a quarter mile from all the delights of downtown Waxahachie. We strolled over to College Street Pub for a beer and live music and had a great time!This home is also wonderfully suited for families. The upstairs playroom brims with toys to keep little ones busy! We really enjoyed our stay!

Victorian Charmer in Heart of Waxahachie

Beautiful, immaculately clean historic Victorian home, charmingly decorated, and exceedingly homey and comfortable. Home is well stocked and kitchen is ready for food preparation for those who enjoy cooking. Master bed is very comfortable and low step-in shower is convenient for those unable to navigate the deep soaking tub. Home is 2000 sq. ft. In size with interesting rooms like a study/ library on first floor and playroom upstairs. Host is equally warm and charming and Checkin / Checkout smooth and easy. Thus home is at the top of our favorites and we will love returning again. Thank you, Katherine, our dear & sweet host.

Perfect Location

This is the second year my friends and I have stayed the weekend here for our annual Scarborough Fair trip. It has plenty of spaces to get ready, a great little kitchen to make ourselves meals, and a beautiful porch for hanging out. We can’t wait to come back again next year!

Great weekend getaway!

Loved every nook of this house! Beautifully decorated and so much character. My girlfriend and I were running the Hachie 50 and our husbands were our support crew. The house is perfectly situated, just walking distance to restaurants and shops and had all the touches of home if you want to stay in and cook. Katherine was wonderful and super responsive. Book it now! You won’t regret it!

This is our 5th time staying at this great house. We participate in missions connection week at Sagu each year and always stay at this house. Our team 5-6 people fits well here and even though we’re not at the house much, it’s a great place to come home to relax chat and have a snack.

A wonderful home

The home was charming and nicely restored. The beds were comfortable and accommodated our family who were in town for a wedding. The back yard was really nice with a wonderful back porch. Katherine was a great host and accommodating when our flights were delayed. We would highly recommend this home.

Wonderful home

My group of friends stayed here for the weekend in order to be close to Scarborough Fair. The house was so cute and walking distance from downtown which was great for going and getting dinner. The owner was kind enough to provide us with complimentary coffee, tea, and popcorn along with access to Netflix and Disney Plus! Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend it!

About the host

Hosted by Katherine Lagomarsino

Host profile image
I bought this house in 2009 while I was still living in New York. I was a magazine editor for many years, but I wanted to return to my Texas roots and the quiet of small town life. Waxahachie was ideal. Close to Dallas, as well as my hometown, which is just 45 minutes away, this charming neighborhood and town has allowed me to raise children in a wholesome environment close to family and friends.

Why they chose this property

This property was completely renovated in 2015. The hardwood floors were restored. Insulation was added, as well as new appliances.
