Fully reimagined and thoughtfully updated, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home at 2801 N 42nd Street delivers the space, functionality, and elevated design today’s buyers are looking for—set on a property that feels like a private retreat in the heart of Waco.
Step inside to a bright, open-concept layout where walls have been removed to create seamless flow between the living, dining, and kitchen spaces. The completely renovated kitchen anchors the home, featuring all new cabinetry, appliances, vent hood, backsplash, and lighting—designed for both everyday living and entertaining. New flooring runs throughout, complemented by fresh sheetrock, updated electrical, recessed lighting, and modern fixtures that give the entire home a clean, cohesive feel.
The primary suite offers a true reset space with a fully renovated bathroom, updated plumbing, and refined finishes. Additional bedrooms feature new flooring, lighting, and paint, while multiple renovated bathrooms—including a fully redone downstairs bath with soaking tub—provide flexibility for guests or multi-generational living.
Downstairs, you’ll find added versatility with a newly renovated full third bathroom, updated laundry room with new connections, and a 4th bedroom or bonus space ideal for a home office, gym, or creative studio—perfect for today’s work-from-home needs.
Outside, the backyard delivers a retreat-like setting with mature trees and a refreshed deck, creating the kind of outdoor living space that’s increasingly hard to find.
With extensive updates including new wiring, improved layout, and major system refreshes, this home offers the character of an established neighborhood with the confidence of modern improvements—all in a central Waco location close to shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences.
