Fresh, New, Light & Airy. 1.2 miles to Magnolia Silos, 1 mile to the Stadium

Welcome to Terracotta on Taylor, a brand new home with old world charm in the heart of the East Side Arts District, downtown Waco (and just 1.3 miles to the Magnolia silos).

The living/ kitchen is open and airy with 11' ceilings and large windows that offer peaceful views to towering trees. Plus, a large deck provides a lovely space for entertaining. We are just blocks from downtown, yet you'll find the home relaxing, and peaceful.

Stroll to McLane Stadium, the river walk or multiple restaurants just a few blocks away.

Perfect Stay!

This was the perfect little house for our Waco visit. We appreciated 4 beds and 2 full bathrooms. The house was spotless. The large kitchen table and comfy living room furniture were just right. We loved having a smart tv to use our own streaming apps on. Thanks for an amazing stay!

Lovely stay

We just loved this house! The design was gorgeous and the house was very comfortable. Unfortunately my husband was sick the first full day we were here. I was at a conference but he got a lot of rest since the beds were so comfortable and was back to himself the second day. Easy to get to everywhere we needed to be. Looking forward to coming back!

Desiree was very accommodating with all of our needs, extended stay, supplies and answered any questions we had. Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality.

Perfect Stay for Graduation

We spent a long weekend to celebrate graduation at Baylor. The house is in the perfect location for any Baylor stay or for enjoying everything else that downtown Waco has to offer. The house is clean, comfortable, and just as pictured. The host is helpful and provides clear info and timely responses when needed. Over the years, we have stayed at many homes in Waco and this is our favorite. We will be back!

Friends getaway

The house and location was perfect for what we intended to see; the Silos and downtown Waco. I loved the setup of the house and all 5 of us were very comfortable. The patio out back was fantastic and we spent a lot of time there together sitting and visiting. The house was very clean and had everything we needed.

What a cute house within a few minutes of everything in Waco. Just as advertised! The house was super clean, and it was stocked with everything we needed for our long weekend. It was within minutes of everything we wanted to see and do, including a few minutes away from the Silos. The owners are super responsive annd even provided a ton of recommendations for restaurants and activities. We would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Desiree Johnson

Host profile image
I'm a married mom with a 20 year old. I was in brand marketing for most of my life. As such, I've been fortunate to have traveled the world with my previous career. Yet, I'm creative at heart, having grown up painting with my mom. I love being able to walk into an old house and see the possibilities no one else can.

About 8 years ago, I began to make the transition into owning a few rental homes. My husband and I are completely self-made and practical... hence tend to be "do it your-selfers". So, it is with lots of hard work and sweat equity that we are thrilled to welcome you into our lovely little abode.

Why they chose this property

I loved the neighborhood. It's historical, hip yet quiet and so close to downtown. There are sculptors, artists and professors moving in now all around us. It's just a few blocks to the river walk so I like to jog along the path and see the old bridges spanning the river, or walk to the Farmers Market on Sunday mornings. Our neighbors are peaceful and nice, it's so quiet here, yet close to all!

What makes this property unique

Large, completely fenced and private back yard with towering trees and a large deck. So close to downtown (just blocks to the river walk and just 1.3 miles to the silos., yet such a peaceful and safe neighborhood. Lovely old architecture in surrounding businesses just a block away where you can find neat eateries, a scratch kitchen bakery, brewery and Jamaican café. The house boasts super tall ceilings with lovely windows that give it a light, fresh and airy feel. The open concept with kitchen and living is great for relaxing and visiting.
