NEW PRICE! UNBEATABLE VALUE! A new custom home inside a 1904 Victorian Masterpiece - fully restored in 2021. This is the rare historic property that gives you everything — the soul, craftsmanship, and architecture of a true historic house with the systems, comfort, and confidence of brand-new construction. Taken down to the studs and tastefully rebuilt, this 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath custom home on iconic W Marvin Avenue is genuinely one of a kind. Proudly featured on the Waxahachie Home Tour in both 2021 and 2022, the home was restored with deep respect for its original character — preserving the period architecture and details that make these homes so beloved — while delivering the modern conveniences today's buyers expect. Within the last five years, the home received all-new HVAC, plumbing, electrical, foundation, and roof (2025). Inside, crown molding graces the kitchen and the entire downstairs, complementing custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a large island. Rich Red Oak hardwood floors run throughout, adding warmth and timeless character. The luxurious primary suite features a classic bathtub with a show-stopping walk-in shower and an oversized closet with custom built-in cabinets. The upstairs bedrooms contain charming nooks and inviting spaces that add the warmth only a classic home like this can offer. Freshly painted and fully move-in ready. Set on a large corner lot with a large L-shaped wrap-around front porch and a backyard built for gathering — complete with a fenced garden and two chicken coops inside an enclosed shelter. All of this on one of Waxahachie's most coveted historic streets. Walkable to downtown, shopping, and dining. Homes like this do not come along often!

Built in 1902 by newlyweds Willia Getzendaner & S.P. Skinner, this Main Street home saw its owner become President Pro Tempore of the Texas Senate just 5 years later. More than a century later, the home was headed for demolition before a careful restoration moved it 6 blocks down Main Street & gave it a foundation of concrete piers drilled to bedrock, with all new plumbing & electric. You get the character of 1902 with the bones of something built yesterday. Original hardwood floors, ornate millwork, & wraparound porches carry that history throughout, with a main level primary suite & 3 more bedrooms upstairs, real space for a growing family or visiting guests. Out back, the property shows its full hand. A private pool sits 7 feet below street level, tucked behind a stacked stone wall with cascading waterfalls that make Main Street disappear. The adjoining pool barn, the real star of the show, is built for gathering, with a stone fireplace, a bar window that opens straight onto the party, a private bedroom, & a full bath with a clawfoot tub. A second bath & a rustic outdoor shower sit just off the covered deck, so a day at the pool never has to end early. A 2 bedroom, 1 full bath fully restored guest home sits apart from the main house, with its own kitchen & granite counters, laundry, generous parking, & a fenced yard. Previously run as a successful short term rental, it works just as well for extended family, guests, or income, with a gate in the privacy fence for whenever everyone wants to join back up at the pool. Round it out with an oversized, heated garage with room for vehicles, storage, or a full workshop, & this property adds up to 3 structures, a private pool, & over 5,000 square feet of combined living space, minutes from downtown Waxahachie. Most homes come with a listing sheet. This one comes with a history you can actually verify.
