931 N 12th Street

Welcome to 931 N 12th Street—an early American bungalow full of personality, thoughtfully restored and updated in 2018 by Wesley Cunningham, a reputed historic home enthusiast. Step inside and you’ll immediately notice the warmth: beautiful hardwood floors, vintage tile, and reclaimed hardwood ceilings that add texture and character to the open living and dining spaces. Crowned fur-downs give the layout definition while keeping the flow open and inviting. One of the best original details is in the main hallway—restored doors topped with leaded-glass transoms, complete with the metal arms once used to open them for fresh airflow. The kitchen is equal parts charming and functional, anchored by a stainless steel gas range and wrapped in solid wood countertops that have been lacquered for easy care and long-lasting use. Oversized windows with insulating wooden frames bring in great natural light and help showcase the craftsmanship that makes this home feel special. All three bedrooms are generously sized for the era. Two are connected by a private Hollywood bath (not accessible from the main living areas), and a powder room that was added during the restoration with penny tile flooring to keep the look cohesive. Out back, an enclosed porch created a laundry or mud area so sweet you could hear birds chirping. It overlooks the deck and a flexible bonus space that works well as a study, hobby room, or extra storage. The primary bedroom is tucked away for privacy and includes a walk-in closet and ensuite bath. Outside you’ll find a fully fenced yard, a back deck ready for relaxing, and a mini-split conditioned outbuilding—ideal for storage, gear, or a small workspace. Close to Dewey Park, Downtown Waco, the Brazos Riverwalk, and Cameron Park where an abundance of restoration and new builds are coming to life. It's an exciting time to be living in Waco, Texas!
