3400 Macarthur Dr, Waco, TX 76708

Located in the heart of Waco’s Lake District and super convenient to nearly everything Waco has to offer, this distinctive 4,500 square foot home benefits from a rare combination of an exceptional setting and a stellar floorplan. --- Fronting what was initially the only road travelling to Lake Waco, this area off MacArthur Drive is revered for its large lots and estate-style homes. Here, with it set-back far off the road, the residence seems to be understated, if not low key, though the impressive list of amenities elevates the property to rarified air and is coveted by most. --- Soaring above the front façade, the live oak in the front yard hints at what is to come across the remainder of the property. Benefitting from nearly an acre (.88 acres in total) of grounds and with a wooded ravine backing the property, privacy, seclusion, and serenity are all hallmarks of the outdoor space. A modern pool, recently constructed detached workshop, fire pit, and patio to end all patios showcase what must be one of the most comprehensive “in town” outdoor spaces seen across Wacotown. --- Inside, five bedrooms, four bathrooms, three living areas, two dining areas, an office, a wonderfully open kitchen, and the largest most useful mudroom you’ve ever laid eyes on (this is not an exaggeration, just look at how big this space is!) work to create a floorplan that’s practical, formal, casual, and absolutely perfect for entertaining! --- At the front of the home, the oversized foyer is flanked by the formal living room and office. Both rooms offer large windows, abundant natural light, and tranquil views of the tree-canopied streets and neighborhood. Behind the foyer, the cozy family room is overlooked by a brick fireplace and additional floor-to-ceiling windows which prominently frame the beautiful backyard greenery. --- Offsetting the family room, the fabulously open kitchen is enhanced with views of the outdoor space, the back patio (perfect when entertaining), and both dining rooms. The breakfast room, which is light and airy given the windowed walls on three sides of the room, is neatly tucked away while the aforementioned mudroom hides behind the kitchen. In both, ample cabinet space, clever use of bar tops, an island and abundant natural light (a hallmark of this home, as you’ve likely noticed), make this a space that’s livable, functional and pleasant. --- Working as a central living space, the home’s bedrooms are positioned on either side of the structure. One side, near the covered car park, acts almost as a private guest quarter with easy kitchen access, a private living room, and an ensuite configuration. On the far side of the home, four bedrooms are laid out in series with easy access to two hall bathrooms. At the back of the series, the current primary suite boasts a second kitchen, private bathroom, and wonderful views of the backyard and pool area. This area was formerly a segregated guest residence with its own private entrance. Now converted for use as a suite in the main home, separation and removal from the main home is simple and easy if a separate area is called for! --- Homes in town which benefit from large lots are rare. Homes with exceptional outdoor spaces, modern pools, and easy access to the best of Waco are impossible to find. With its exceptional floorplan, fantastic, understated style, and unique characteristics, this home is truly one of a kind. Plus, the area offers tremendous upside as it’s poised for growth with many nearby remodels establishing the area as a “must see” for potential homeowners.
