Plucked from the pages of a story book sits this adorable cottage-style home, right next door to Magnolia's newest renovation - the Castle on Austin Avenue. This adorable abode delivers big on vintage charm with hard wood flooring, wainscot trimmings, sconces and custom cabinetry prioritizing comfort and charm over grandeur. Keeping the vibe casual and welcoming is the time worn flagstone walk flanked by symmetrical planters typical of this style. Your guests will stay cool while kicking back on the patio covered by a pergola that begs for wisteria and views of a private and landscaped back yard big enough for a game of competitive croquet or a pool. Inside you'll find a cool and crisp color scheme, and beautiful oyster shell fixtures. Kitchen and bathrooms have been updated with white stone countertops, deco tile and glass. The back bedrooms can be closed off for energy efficiency or additional privacy for guests. Find additional respite in the back den with functioning wood-burning fireplace, French doors to the patio and access to the 2 car attached garage. Don't miss the small study attached to the den that can be closed off when wanting to put the work day away. Make this your own quaint retreat and begin your story here, at 3224 Austin avenue, Waco, Texas.
