About this property
New! Cheerful cottage filled with art and books in the heart of Waxahachie
Welcome to the Little House of Books! This luxe two bedroom, 1 bathroom house has the best of both worlds. It is located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of Little Creek Trail and Chapman Park and yet is adjacent to bustling Highway 77 and all of its shops and restaurants. It's a three minute drive to Waxahachie's iconic dowtown square.
Guests can enjoy an art- and book-filled retreat with cozy seating for reading after a busy wedding, girls' night out or work trip. This house sleeps up to four, making it ideal for couples and families or small group seeking a taste of the Crepe Myrtle Capital of Texas.
This 1950s house has all of the charm you would expect in a Waxahachie home. Original hardwood floors, four over four windows and elegant molding. Each bedroom in kitted out with luxurious linens, ample closet space and ceiling fans.
The kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, large pantry with a few basic staples and a built-in wooden ironing board original to the house. The house also has a full sized washer and dryer in the laundry room, as well as a spacious fenced backyard for soaking up the Texas sun.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Your host
I'm a former magazine editor who worked in New York for design publications such as Metropolitan Home and Martha Stewart Living. After being obsessed with home decor for years, I decided opening up a VRBO would be the perfect way to address my desire to decorate. It's been such a joy working on this sweet, cheerful house, and I can't wait to share it with my guests. I'm a native Texan and have lived in Waxahachie for over 10 years now. It is a truly special place with loads of amazing restaurants and shops. But truly, it's the people of Waxahachie that make it a real jewel.
Why they chose this property
Built in 1950, this house has amazing bones only found in older homes. Of all the things I love about it, one of my favorites is the four over four windows that allow for each room to be flooded with natural light at different times of the day. (There are shades and/or curtains in each bedroom in case you want to sleep in!) Each room features an eclectic mix of styles and furnishings from England, Italy, France, Africa and America.
Because it's Texas, keeping cool is essential during the summer months. The home has a brand new central air conditioning system. In addition, the living room and each bedroom have ceiling fans, so you'll always have a cool place to come home to when it's sizzling.

What makes this property unique
This house is within walking distance to Little Creek Trail and Chapman Park, a perfect bonus if you have children. In addition, I've designed a small kids' closet in the hallway, so be sure and open up all of the doors to see what's inside!
Another small hall closet has been converted into a makeshift makeup area with a mirror and shelving so everyone has room to get ready.
