This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is nestled in the heart of Waco, TX, just 2 miles from the Silos and 3 miles from Baylor University. Cozy and inviting, it offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience for your stay in Waco. You'll love the unique touches throughout, a delightful kitchen, and a serene backyard ideal for relaxed Sunday afternoons. The Wilson House is a wonderful place to create lasting memories in Waco. Welcome—your perfect home base awaits! While we were working on the house we discovered a signature on the kitchen wall from the builder. Apparently a couple of his kids also signed the wall. The builder was Mr. E F Wilson. We believe the house was built in 1936\. The stone house next door, which we also owned, was built by Gaines de Grafenreid in 1929, and added on later when he married and had two sons. The original owner of 2521 we believe was Gaine's younger brother. We saved a piece of the original kitchen wall paper which we framed and left in the hall closet. We thought it was a fun part of the history. The outside siding is mostly clear redwood. Because that old growth redwood is almost gone now (and is super expensive), we used cedar siding that was specially milled. We ordered it through Redwood Lumber in Waco. There are some planks of it in the basement. Since the mill required minimum production runs, we had some left over. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Firepit - Outdoor furniture - Porch/lanai ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No lift - Single level property - Tile flooring in public areas - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping on request - Iron/ironing board - Safe ### Location highlights - In the city centre - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping centre - Near the marina ### Things to do - Water park - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Housekeeping (on request) ## Similar properties ![TV, offices](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103820000/103810400/103810370/10dcd24c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New!
