A Corner Lot With a Deep Porch
The listing highlights a spacious front porch and a corner lot. The photos show a pale house with dark trim, a brick path, and a generous lawn framed by mature trees. “Historic Victorian” is the listing’s wording; we did not independently verify a formal historic designation.
Oversized Rooms and a Formal Hall
Step inside and the hall sets the tone: dark wood floors, tall door casings and a long runner leading toward the front door. The listing mentions oversized rooms and a prominent staircase. The rooms in the gallery look large and lightly furnished, with rugs, ceiling fans and plenty of window light.
Four Fireplaces and a Butler’s Pantry
According to the listing, the house has four fireplaces with original cast-iron facades, plus a butler’s pantry. Several photos show wooden mantels and fireplace surrounds in different rooms. Zillow lists 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across 2,081 square feet.
Updates, Per the Listing
The listing mentions updated HVAC and rain gutters in 2022. Those are the seller’s statements, not the results of an independent inspection. The Zillow page does not mark the home as as-is, but a 1905 house should still be inspected carefully. Staging was not disclosed, so we are not calling the furnishings in the photos staging.
Waxahachie and a Short Time on the Market
Waxahachie, south of the Dallas–Fort Worth area, is known for older neighborhoods and a historic downtown square. A 1905 porch Victorian on a corner lot will always draw looks, and more than a thousand views in six days shows that people are stopping on this one. Interest is not the same as a simple closing, and buyers should still walk the house, check the systems and confirm what is included.
Why a 1905 House at This Price Draws Looks
In many Texas markets, a corner-lot Victorian with original fireplaces would sit well above this asking price, or would already have been heavily renovated. Here, the listing is still under $350,000 and the photos show period woodwork left in place. That combination explains the early saves. It also means buyers should look closely at what still needs work, rather than assuming a turnkey finish.
Things to Verify
- A full inspection of the roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing and HVAC
- Whether the four fireplaces are operational
- The 2022 HVAC and gutter work described in the listing
- Whether furnishings are included; staging was not disclosed
- Any local rules if the house sits in a historic area
The Bottom Line
At $349,900, 1423 Sycamore St offers a 1905 Victorian with a corner-lot porch, oversized rooms, four fireplaces and a butler’s pantry, according to the listing. It has only been on Zillow a few days, and it is worth a careful in-person look if you want an old Texas house with real period detail.
