Own a piece of Main St with built in income potential. The guest home has already proven itself as a successful short term rental, & works just as well as a long term lease, extended family space, or work from home setup. The pool & pool barn make an ideal venue for small weddings, showers, or private events, & the layout lends itself to a bed & breakfast concept for the right owner. Three structures, one property, endless possibilities. Buyer to verify city approval & permitting requirements for STR, event, or B&B use. This home comes with a story too. Built in 1902 by newlyweds Willia Getzendaner & S.P. Skinner, the home saw Skinner elected President Pro Tempore of the Texas Senate just 5 yrs later. Over a century later, the home was headed for demolition before a careful restoration moved it 6 blocks down Main St, earning a Historic Waxahachie Residential Preservation award in 2010. That move is why a 1902 home sits on concrete piers drilled to bedrock, w all new plumbing & electric. In 2011, the guest home & pool barn were added, along w a private pool tucked 7 ft below street level behind a stacked stone wall & cascading waterfalls. Current owners have called it home since 2015, filling it w birthdays, holidays, & front row seats to the Main St parades that pass by every year. Home turns 125 next year & is ready for its next chapter. Original hardwood floors, ornate millwork, welcoming porches & a balcony carry the character throughout. Main level primary suite plus 3 more bdrms upstairs with 2 full baths and tons of storage. Pool barn offers a stone fireplace, bar window, private bedroom, & full bath, perfect for events. Oversized heated 4 car garage w room for a full workshop. Over 5,000 sq ft combined across all structures, minutes from downtown. Most homes come with a listing sheet. This one comes with a history you can verify.
