516 Harlem Ave, Waco, TX, 76704
About This Home
516 Harlem Avenue in Waco is a refreshed 2-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow that blends simple comfort with creative energy—just 774 sq ft, yet it lives bright and inviting thanks to fresh interior paint and updated vinyl plank flooring. The front porch is wrapped with a bamboo privacy screen, creating a cozy spot for morning coffee or an evening wind-down. Inside, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms and a warm, welcoming feel throughout—helped along by fantastic new colors that make the space feel both calm and enchanting. Out back, a huge yard opens up under an enormous pecan tree, offering shade, space to garden, room to create, and plenty of options for outdoor living. Location adds even more value: you’re minutes from the Downtown Farmers Market (a local Saturday favorite) and conveniently close to Baylor University. Even better, you’re perched just a couple blocks from the Brazos River and the 6.5-mile Waco Riverwalk, a scenic trail system that follows both banks with beautiful views and easy access to downtown attractions. This is an adorable, affordable home with personality, updates you’ll appreciate, and outdoor space that’s hard to find at this size—ready for its next chapter at 516 Harlem Avenue.
