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.

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!

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.

Five-star experience!

We stayed at this charming home to attend a wedding at Willow Creek this past weekend. There were 8 of us, ages 12-86, from 3 different families. And from the minute we walked in, we were all in love with this house! We had so much fun walking from room to room to admire the vintage decor, unique artwork and cozy rooms full of natural light. Our host, Katherine, even left some warm touches of Christmas around. We loved the feeling of stepping back in time, but with all the comforts that come with updated bathrooms, comfortable beds and separate heating/cooling on each floor. Katherine has stocked the house thoughtfully. We found all the basic kitchen supplies we needed to prepare a wedding day luncheon to take to the venue. We also liked that there were several spaces we could divide up to work on wedding decorations or play games, and still feel like we were together. Check-out was a breeze, which was SO appreciated because of the long drive home in front of us today. We have rented vacation homes on many occasions, and can usually tell when a host enjoys his/her role. Katherine clearly does, as all our questions were answered almost immediately, and she even (cheerfully!) put some forgotten personal items in the mail to us the very day we left them. We give this home our highest recommendation!

This property had everything we needed and more. The beds were very comfortable, it was impeccably clean, and the property itself is in such a pleasant area. The house has retained its historical charm, and we went for a nice walk each day, complete with neighborhood cats. Only a short walk to town, too. Our host was wonderful, very communicative, and it really was a wonderful experience. A plus that the kitchen has a gas stove and was well stocked with a large fridge and freezer. Consider bringing a large pot if cooking for many, but otherwise we did not need a thing. Thank you, Katherine!

Lots of charm

This home nestled in historic Waxahachie was perfect for our family. Kiddo loved the playroom and exploring all the nooks and crannies! Walking distance to downtown and splash pad. Easy access to many area attractions (we took a day trip to Glen Rose and dinosaur valley). Host even provided sound machines in the bedrooms which were very much used as the train tracks are nearby! Highly recommend this home!

Cute and comfy little retreat!

We met friends here for a fun weekend in Waxahachie. The house was great - very clean, close to downtown. It has one bed/bath and a powder room downstairs; upstairs is another bedroom with two queen beds and a third bedroom with a queen bed. There is a second full bath upstairs. There are two separate sitting rooms, a full kitchen, and a sweet little library room. LOTS of great books to pull from if you need a book break!

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.

Eclipse vacation

We booked our stay here about 2 years ago for a family trip from the UK to experience the total eclipse. Katherine was very attentive and answered all queries promptly, advising on things to do etc in the area. The house is lovely, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. It had a great porch with a swing chair and rocking chair out front and decking out the back where you can sit and eat in the evening. The house is in easy walking distance of Waxahachie, which is a lovely little town. I would say though, that the trains that run through the town, blaring their horns at night are extremely loud. Even wearing ear plugs and using a white noise machine, we could still hear them. The first night we were there we had been awake for nearly 24 hours travelling, and got such a fright when they woke us several times in the night, as it doesn't mention them on the property listing. The wifi is also very slow and at times non existent and you really need some blackout curtains in the attic room. Having said all this, we had a lovely time and enjoyed our stay.

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!

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.
