Some homes wrap you in warmth the moment you step inside and this is one of them. At 1865 Austin Hines Drive in China Spring, TX’s cherished Hills of Childress Creek, this 2,800 sq ft, 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom haven, priced at $675,000, feels like home. Set in a wilderness area loved by homeowners and wildlife alike, it’s less than 30 minutes drive to Baylor University and downtown Waco’s lively pulse.
Climb flagstone stairs to a porch made for slow mornings with coffee or evening cocktails under Texas stars. Inside, a stone fireplace grounds the living room, ready to hold your family’s stories. The kitchen, with its double oven, sparks culinary creativity, from quick weeknight meals to dinners that steal the show. The flex space, currently used as a music room, hums with potential: keep its music alive or turn it into a game room, media escape, or guest hideaway.
Outside, a 1.08-acre fenced oasis awaits with a pool, waterfall, suntanning ledge, and spa, perfect for unwinding or hosting. Deer wander through the tranquil Hills of Childress Creek as neighbors wave, reminding you life can slow down here. In China Spring ISD’s top schools, this home suits families or professionals craving a Waco retreat with heart.
The owners are passing this treasure to its next chapter, ready to embrace a new family. Book a private tour today!
