Well... this one hurts a little. Because this isn’t just another listing, it’s my favorite down-the-street neighbor’s house. Built in 2006 and beautifully updated, this one-story home sits on a .23-acre lot in one of China Spring’s friendliest little pockets. It’s the kind of neighborhood where people wave, share lemonade on bad days, and genuinely like each other. And this house? It was home to the heart of the block. The unofficial mayor, if you will. So yeah, the bar’s high. Inside, you’ll find nearly 1,900 square feet of warm, lived-in charm—including brand-new wood-look tile floors, fresh paint, sparkly black countertops, and an upgraded HVAC system with UV lighting and pure air filters (because breathing clean air is cool now). The living room is massive—and was once spacious enough for indoor hoverboarding and some light drywall damage. Don't worry. It’s all patched now. The kitchen is stylish and functional with a couple of brand new appliances and room for everyone to hang out, whether you're baking sourdough or just showing off your clear chicken backpack. (Yes, that happened here. No, we’re not over it.) Out back, you’ll find a supersized patio and a horizontal fence situation so pretty it might become your entire personality. The pull-through third-car garage leads to a large concrete pad that’s perfect for a golf cart, boat, or just having an unnecessarily dramatic exit. Oh—and the chicken coop stays. (Please refer to city guidelines for number of feathered residents allowed.) Additional perks include: *New roof (2023) *Oversized driveway *Pull-through garage (added in 2017) *China Spring ISD *Minutes to schools, Wetlands, and just 20-25 min to Downtown Waco, Baylor, and Magnolia (if you’re into that) This home was loved hard, cared for well, and is fully move-in ready - no fixer-upper headaches. Bring your people (and maybe a chicken), and get ready to be part of a neighborhood that actually feels like one.
