Now is your chance to own Waco’s famed “Stockbroker Tudor” which is steeped in Waco history as the birthplace of the Junior League of Waco! With its distinctive, grand, street side stature, soaring gables, multiple chimneys, and mullioned windows; this quintessential, historically significant post-war Tudor Revival can be acquired for much, much less than you might expect! Originally constructed in 1924 by J.F. Carson, the home was penned by noted Waco architect Birch D. Easterwood (who also designed landmarks synonymous with Waco and Baylor University such as Pat Neff Hall, Brooks Hall, and the Tidwell Bible Building) for homeowners Woodlief and Margaret Barclay. At the time of completion, the home was only the second to be constructed on the block and was one of the first homes built in Waco’s storied Provident neighborhood. Acclaim for the home’s architectural prominence was nearly immediate, post construction, as a feature story in the home and garden issue of the “Waco Chamber of Commerce News” detailed its impressive attributes, inside and out. Some years later, the homeowner’s daughter, Mrs. Barclay Megarity, “invited a group of women to her home for the purpose of discussing the establishment of an organization developed for public service, one which could fill the need among themselves and other young women for a better understanding of their community and its problems”. That meeting, held on 12 December 1935, launched what is now the Junior League of Waco. Today, the home stands in largely original condition with much of the original millwork, plaster detailing, leaded glass, and wooden doors undisturbed. Updates to the roof, HVAC systems, water heater, basement, and kitchen were performed over time. Upon entry, visitors are greeted by the home’s magnificent vestibule. Perfect for the display of your favorite antiques (really, the entire home is), this gathering area ushers all into the large foyer which houses the home’s grand

Do not miss out on this ENCHANTING 1924 Tudor-Revival style home in the heart of Waco! Originally built for Woodlief and Margaret Barclay by Birch D. Easterwood, this home has retained many of its original features. As you walk in the wide vestibule, you will encounter the completely enclosed raised-panel staircase. To the left of the "stair hall," you will notice the ample sized dining room with original leaded glass windows. To the right of the wide "stair hall," lies the magnificent living room. The living room features Tudor-arched double glass doors, large fireplace with a diminutive terra cotta niche. The niche opening features the original rope molding. Over time, one of the owners enclosed the porch off of the living room, allowing space for the perfect 21st-century office space. A modern kitchen at the back of this stunning home rounds out the first floor. Upstairs you are greeted with a lovely landing space perfect for a sitting area between the 3 bedrooms. The master features multiple closets, an enclosed "sleeping porch," and an en-suite bathroom. Across the landing are 2 additional bedrooms with a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The former "Barclay" House features a separate 2 car garage with an additional 534 square foot garage apartment and a large basement area perfect for future expansion of square footage or ample storage.
