2512 Austin Ave — A 1929 Austin Ave Tudor For the buyer who has been waiting for an older home with real character, 2512 Austin is a rare find. Built in 1929 and approaching its 100th year, this distinctive Austin Ave Tudor offers the architecture, gracious rooms, mature surroundings and sense of permanence that draw people to older homes—qualities that simply cannot be recreated in a new home. What makes 2512 compelling is that much of the difficult work associated with owning a nearly century-old home has already been addressed. The house has been carefully maintained and substantially updated, including major electrical and plumbing work, significant roof work, a Reno’d kitchen with induction cooktop, and an updated first-floor primary bath with steam shower and smart toilet. The house also offers something rarely found in a conv. floor plan: a dedicated 12x15 creative studio, currently used as a working jeweler's studio, providing 180 sft of genuine workspace without sacrificing a bedroom. An adjacent 12x7 laundry-utility area provides another 84 sft of flexible space for plants, crafts, storage or other uses. You get the character of a 1929 home without beginning with a 1929 reno project. At appx. 2,686 sft, the home offers generous and flexible living space while retaining the individuality and craftsmanship of an earlier era. Tudor-influenced rooflines, asymmetry, stucco ext and period details give the house its distinctive architectural presence. And then there is Austin Ave—one of Waco's established historic residential corridors, close to the city's cultural and urban core as downtown Waco and the Brazos riverfront enter an important new period of investment and redevelopment. New homes can be built again. A 1929 Austin Ave Tudor cannot. Offered at $535,000, 2512 Austin is a rare opp. to own a carefully maintained, substantially updated piece of Waco residential history—nearly a century old, full of character, and ready for its next chapter.
