8460 Spicewood Springs Road, Waco, TX 76633

Some properties give you a home; this one gives you two. Tucked into The Preserve in China Spring, 8460 Spicewood Springs is a rare offering: two complete residences on a single lot, with all the Tuscan-inspired character and flexibility that come with them. The nearly 5,000-square-foot main house lives large and easy, with four bedrooms and four baths. At its heart is a chef's kitchen that begs to be cooked in; a full Wolf suite runs the show, from the induction cooktop to the built-in wall oven and microwave. New Samsung refrigeration and dishwashers keep everything moving, and whole-home filtration with reverse osmosis sends filtered, softened water to every tap. It is a kitchen built as much for a quiet weeknight in as for a full house on a holiday; the kind of room where everyone ends up, cooking or not. The whole property answers to a single touch. A Control4 system puts lighting, climate, sound, and the pool a tap away, from the next room or across the country; upgraded speakers and Dolby surround carry sound from the living room and theater out to the patio and casita, and every television and stereo system stays with the home. At the center of it all, a resort-style pool and spa, rebuilt end to end on a new Pentair saltwater chlorinator system, anchor a covered patio built for long evenings outdoors. Just steps away sits a casita, a 1,600-square-foot second home that has never been lived in, with its own kitchen, living space, and two bedrooms with en-suite baths featuring seamless transition shower floors. Imagine your favorite people living close enough to share the pool every afternoon, and still coming home to a place entirely your own; the possibilities are yours to define. For the collector and the maker alike, the garages are rare: nine covered spaces in all, anchored by a six-car bay that conceals an insulated, AC-ready workshop. Room for the collection, the builds, and the projects that never fit anywhere else.
