Brazos House | Fannie's On 5th Street-Close To Downtown And Magnolia Market

5 Bedroom House in Brazos, Waco

They say you can’t go home again, but this beautiful, historic 112 year old home in downtown Waco, Texas proves different. Each visitor is certain to fall in love with her charm, and handcrafted details of a bygone era. Constructed in a time when people prided themselves on craftsmanship, the beauty and details remain timeless today. The moment you drive up to the property, you will be greeted by a grand front porch with large columns, carved details, and white wicker rockers. Perfect for enjoying morning coffee or sipping afternoon ice tea. Once guests step inside, they will be visually treated to handcrafted decor such as the original stained glass windows, transoms, original hand carved fireplace mantel which matches the design in the original stained glass windows, hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and even a sleep in porch with original glass windows. Other timeless details include a claw foot tub, and a pedestal sink marked with the actual date the sink was constructed. This fabulous home started construction in 1907 and was completed in 1910. It has passed through three more families before miraculously returning to a family member, the great, great granddaughter of the original owners.
Growing up, she had heard many stories of the home and its beauty but was under the impression that it was no longer standing. Then, serendipitously, on her birthday, in the summer of 2019, long time family friend called to see if she knew who these people were that built this gorgeous 112 year old home and had the same last name (maiden) as she. The friend looking for real estate in Waco, had stumbled across this gorgeous historic home in downtown Waco within walking distance to the farmers market, the Silos and Austin Ave businesses. The moment she heard the description of the home, she knew it was her great great grandparents! With blessings from her friend, she purchased the home and has lovingly worked to restore the original beauty while adding modern and personal touches throughout the home. Each bedroom has been decorated with a theme or nod to family members, local artists and friends.
Our home is walking distance (less than half a mile) to the Magnolia Silos, Bakery, and new shopping complex. Also close by are Spice Village, Farmers Market, interesting shops & restaurants and about a mile to Baylor’s campus. We are also only 15 minutes to BSR Cable Park.
