The Grand Tour

We finally did it! Today our house went on the market. I have promised everyone photos of the final product, and by final I mean as good as it is going to get for now. It is my privilege and delight to introduce to you our newly remodeled castle home.

Fresh paint, potted plants, and a new welcome mat greet you at the front door.

When you walk in you'll find the original hardwood floors, beautiful crown molding, and updated light fixtures that are consistent throughout the house

The large living area is great for entertaining and features original wooden framed windows and gas fire place.

The front bedroom has it’s own walk in closet and connects to the jack and jill style bathroom.

The bathroom has the original vintage tile,

with updated brand new sink, light fixtures, and shower.

The 2nd bedroom also connects to the bathroom and has it’s own closet and windows with window treatments.

From there you go down the hallway to the spacious master bedroom that features two large closets, and an exterior door with steps leading to the backyard.

The master bathroom includes a large tub, new tile, a pedestal sink, and linen closet.

Now back to the dining room where we have even more natural light from another large window, and a built in shelf and cabinet from the 1940’s

The swinging door leads us to the kitchen

where we find a built in booth dining area along with a penisula that works as a cutting board. Next to the eat in kitchen is an original built in ironing board also from 1940.

The floor is black slate from India, and the counter tops are venetian gold granite. All of the appliances are energy efficient stainless steel, and the stove is gas. There is plenty of space to store everything in the updated 42 inch cabinets with lots of costumized features like display shelves, a pull out cookie sheet compartment, and sliding pantry.

Lastly, is the utility room with storage space, a utility sink, and washer/dryer hook ups.

The expansive back yard is enclosed by a cedar fence and proves to have plenty of room for a work shop, gardens, play set, and much more.

Not only is the house incredibly charming, but it’s located in a quiet, low traffic, friendly neighborhood with the convenience of being just a short distance from restaurants, shopping centers, and Waxahachie's beautiful historic downtown area.

Spread the word.
