1026 W Main St, Waxahachie, TX 75165

Description

A rare Waxahachie treasure, 1026 W Main Street is the kind of historic home that feels as if it has been loved, protected, and thoughtfully brought into its next chapter. Originally built in 1902 as a classic Victorian residence, this home carries more than a century of character while offering the comfort and function today’s buyers want. A 2015 studs-out renovation modernized the essentials, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, tankless water heater, appliances, and more, while preserving the details that give the home its soul. The original hand-beveled glass front door, quarter-sawn wood floors, trim, pocket doors, interior doors, beadboard, antique fixtures, and repurposed materials tell a story in nearly every room. The kitchen is unforgettable, with a custom island crafted from an iron balcony salvaged from a historic Dallas hotel, original beadboard, vintage Brussels streetlamps, marble counters, abundant cabinetry, and a 48-inch Wolf cooktop with French griddle. Warm gathering spaces are filled with natural light, rich wood ceilings, millwork, fireplaces, and layered architectural details that feel grand yet personal. The primary suite includes a meaningful piece of the home’s history with a clawfoot tub originally installed upstairs in 1909 and relocated during the renovation. Outside, the front porch, mature trees, rebuilt retaining wall, and inviting curb appeal set a timeless first impression, while the backyard feels like a private retreat with a pool added in 2023, covered porch, outdoor living, and brickwork made from original bricks found on the property. The detached garage adds opportunity with a 2025 roof, new slab, roughed-in electrical and plumbing, and three new garage doors, creating potential for a workshop, studio, guest quarters, or storage. Set in the heart of historic Waxahachie, this extraordinary home blends authenticity, craftsmanship, thoughtful restoration, and everyday livability in a way that is truly hard to find.
