Some houses are simply places to live. Others seem to collect stories. Circa 1880, the Eddy P. Hawkins Home is one of Waxahachie’s most extraordinary historic residences—a nearly 150-year-old treasure awaiting a visionary new caretaker. Beginning as a two-room home and expanded around 1900 into the grand three-story residence seen today, its transitional Queen Anne and Neo-colonial character reflects the growth, artistry, and social history of early Waxahachie. Set beneath towering trees on a .413-acre corner lot, the home’s double galleries, classical columns, pedimented entry, intricate roof cresting, eyebrow window, and sweeping brick walk create an unforgettable presence. Inside, generations of craftsmanship remain: original pine floors, soaring ceilings, transom windows, beveled glass, elaborate pocket doors, ball-and-dowel fretwork, a richly detailed red-pine staircase, built-ins, and ten distinctive fireplace mantels—nearly every one different and many retaining original mirrors and tile. Designed for gathering, its spacious rooms have hosted elegant dinners, birthdays, anniversaries, wedding receptions, Gingerbread Trail visitors, and decades of community memories. The shaded grounds continue the story with thousands of reclaimed bricks laid by hand, garden paths, an outdoor fireplace, mature landscaping, and a detached 1930s structure that has served as a residence, workshop, commercial kitchen, art studio, and creative retreat. This is not a turnkey home. It requires extensive restoration, thoughtful investment, and respect for its age. Yet opportunities to preserve a property with this depth of architecture, history, and emotional connection are exceedingly rare. Conveniently positioned between the Railyard District and Getzendaner Park, with the Waxahachie Creek Hike & Bike Trail nearby, 200 S Hawkins is ready for its next chapter—new traditions, renewed beauty, and generations of stories still waiting to be written.
