The Dean Highland neighborhood in Waco is celebrated for its select blocks of picturesque pre-war homes — from Craftsman bungalows and Victorian mansions to Colonial Revivals and, in this case, an English Tudor. Built in 1939, this Dean Highland Tudor retains its original charm while recent owners have thoughtfully upgraded the comforts and livability, marrying period detail with modern conveniences. This home sits within earshot of St. Louis Catholic Church’s bells and within easy walking distance of the beloved Highland Baptist Church and Dean Highland Elementary. A long driveway leads to secure parking behind an automatic custom iron gate and a fully fenced yard. At the driveway’s end a former rear garage has been thoughtfully reimagined as a nearly 600-square-foot guest house, newly renovated and complete with a kitchenette and three-piece bath — ideal for guests, an income suite, private studio or even entertaining space. Inside, original hardwood floors, refined millwork, and sparkling Art Deco crystal chandeliers coexist effortlessly with an open, light-filled plan that connects living, dining, kitchen and an incredible sunroom. The kitchen is bright and sophisticated, appointed with chrome fixtures, Café appliances, elegant countertops and backsplash, abundant full-height cabinetry, and a large pantry, mudroom, laundry for exceptional functionality. A flexible downstairs fourth bedroom could serve gracefully as a possible office or playroom. Upstairs, the primary suite honors the home’s generous proportions: a roomy walk-in closet with built-in dresser and an expansive en-suite bath featuring a classic clawfoot soaking tub, a substantial walk-in shower, dual vanities, and ample storage. Two additional well-scaled bedrooms share a beautifully updated bathroom that respects the original character. The expansive backyard feels like a private garden, with space for play, raised kitchen garden bed, a greenhouse, and a large custom storage building.
