You may think you know Waxahachie from its road signs and the fact that you pass it on your way to Austin. And then again on your way back to Dallas. And there’s a Waffle House.

But boy, oh boy, there is so much more.

There’s a town square in Waxahachie with the original courthouse. A sprinkling of vintage shops (obviously).  You can also find loads of good places to eat.

The Dove’s Nest is a hit locally and beyond. It’s a tearoom that started in the back of a gift shop and subsequently outgrew the space. It now serves “New Southern Cuisine” in a part of the original hardware store they purchased (and renovated) in downtown Waxahachie.  

Cork & Keg is a “warm, relaxed venue with ample wine and craft beer.” And flatbreads and steaks and seafood, too.

Then there’s Farm Luck Soda Fountain and Dry Goods, an old school soda shop with fresh sandwiches and cookies the size of your head.

And on the unexpected side of things, you’ll find the Webb Gallery, a “diverse and eclectic” gallery that’s been “selling soul in downtown Waxahachie for 33 years.” It’s a total gem where you can find genuinely glorious art for your house hand-painted by Bruce Lee Webb, Esther Pearl Watson, and even some artists that only have two names.

Another unexpected thing you’ll find in Waxahachie? This Midcentury Modern home that’s been completely renovated, has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living areas, and 2,200 square feet for … $344,500. Dang. DANG. 

The breeze-block front is gorgeous and that door leading in from the carport flanked by a double-double set of windows? Lovely. Nice deep brown, maybe charcoal, maybe black paint, too. Get that walnut poppin’, you know?

fe4703f543d64f0a5ad7e8e716aaf324l-w2553376901od-w1024_h768

The seller is the guy next door. Literally. He purchased the home with his business partner almost two years ago and then spent the next 18 months very, very lovingly renovating the space.

fe4703f543d64f0a5ad7e8e716aaf324l-w2553376901od-w1024_h768

He knocked out a brick wall to give it an open feel inside and then got to work. Coldwell Banker’s Laurie Atkinson said he did it all the right way, too. He replaced the windows, the roof, and leveled the foundation. The exterior doors are original, but very little else is. 

fe4703f543d64f0a5ad7e8e716aaf324l-w2553376901od-w1024_h768

He took it down to the studs and used high-end materials to bring it back to life. He even opted for a range with a vintage look. 

fe4703f543d64f0a5ad7e8e716aaf324l-w2553376901od-w1024_h768

The countertops are quartz marble but he flipped them downside up to give it a soft leather appearance. 

Real wood flooring is in all the of the main living areas and real slate tile fills in the rest.

fe4703f543d64f0a5ad7e8e716aaf324l-w2553376901od-w1024_h768

On the outside, he wanted to give it a Palm Springs vibe, so he went with landscaping to match. 

fe4703f543d64f0a5ad7e8e716aaf324l-w2553376901od-w1024_h768

There’s a solarium inside as well. And two separate spaces that would make for great work-from-home offices. HINT, DALLAS RESIDENTS. HARD HINT. Because like Atkinson pointed out, no one wants to double up in a home office and with remote working, your commute is literally a click away.

fe4703f543d64f0a5ad7e8e716aaf324l-w2553376901od-w1024_h768

The feedback has been generous. Everyone loves 1314 Ferris Avenue and it’s easy to see why. If you love it too, give Atkinson a call or better yet, make an offer.
