Waco’s Best

Was absolutely amazing the home is incredible. Very spacious clean and as advertised. Very high end finishes and overall design. The large fenced in area was great for our little guy. Would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting. Driveway is very steep and will most likely drag on low setting vehicles. If you know you have one park on the street. Other than that couldn’t ask for a better place to bring the family. Walk across the street to the zoo or less than 2 miles to the silos and everything else.
