Originally featured as a 2017 Parade of Homes showcase, this exceptional 4-bedroom, 3-bathroomresidence offers 2,842 square feet of timeless craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and modern comfort. From the moment you step inside, you'll appreciate the warmth of plantation shutters, custom built-ins, soaring ceilings, and light-filled living spaces designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The open-concept kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring granite countertops, custom cabinetry, abundant workspace, and seamless flow into the spacious living area.

Enjoy it today from the covered patio, or make it your own tomorrow. Additional amenities include built-in surround sound, a security system, gutters, a whole-home generator, a sprinkler system, and an oversized three-car garage. Homes that offer this combination of custom quality, nearly an acre of usable land, and the opportunity to personalize the outdoor living experience are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Experience luxury, space, and the best of Southern living in Austin Colony.
North Lake Waco, located between Lake Waco and the Brazos River, is a residential and lakeside Waco neighborhood with shoreline parks and winding, tree-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lake Shore Drive and Airport Road corridor, where marinas, bait-and-tackle counters, and casual patios set a weekend-on-the-water rhythm. Housing ranges from mid-century ranch homes to newer builds with decks and lake views. Lake Waco Park and the dam area shape daily routines with walking paths, boat ramps, and open water. The Waco Rowing Center and the Lake Waco Wetlands add a distinctly outdoors-forward cultural layer. Evenings often orbit around local tables at places like Lakeside Bar & Grill.
