Fannie's On 5th Street-Close To Downtown And Magnolia Market

This historic 4-bedroom, 2-bath home combines timeless character with modern comfort just blocks from Magnolia Market, the Farmers Market, Spice Village, and downtown Waco attractions. Originally built between 1907 and 1910, Fannie’s On 5th features stained glass windows, hardwood floors, tall ceilings, a clawfoot tub, and a grand front porch with rocking chairs, creating a one-of-a-kind stay near Baylor University.

Historic Downtown Waco Location
Fannie’s On 5th places you within walking distance of Magnolia Market, the Silos, the Farmers Market, Spice Village, Austin Avenue shops and restaurants, and many of downtown Waco’s most popular attractions. Baylor University is about a mile away, and Waco Surf is only a short drive from the home, making this a convenient location for both relaxing weekends and Baylor visits.

The Home
Originally constructed between 1907 and 1910, Fannie’s On 5th is a beautifully restored historic home filled with craftsmanship and character rarely found today. From the moment you arrive, the grand front porch welcomes you with large columns, handcrafted details, and white wicker rocking chairs perfect for slow mornings or relaxing evenings.

Inside, the home showcases many of its original architectural features, including stained glass windows, transoms, hardwood floors, tall ceilings, hand-carved woodwork, and an original fireplace mantel designed to mirror the stained glass patterns throughout the home. Guests will also find timeless touches like a clawfoot tub, vintage pedestal sink, and a charming sleeping porch lined with original windows.

The home has been lovingly restored by the great-great-granddaughter of the original owners, who rediscovered the property generations later and thoughtfully preserved its historic beauty while adding modern comforts throughout. Each bedroom includes unique decorative touches inspired by family history, local artists, and meaningful personal details connected to the home’s story.

A Thoughtful Stay in a Historic Neighborhood
Fannie’s On 5th has been part of this downtown neighborhood for more than a century, and maintaining a peaceful atmosphere for neighbors remains important. Guests are kindly asked to be respectful regarding noise and gatherings so everyone can enjoy the property and neighborhood comfortably.

Whether you’re visiting Waco for Magnolia, Baylor, or simply to experience one of the city’s most unique historic homes, Fannie’s On 5th offers a stay filled with warmth, history, and timeless charm.

We were a group of six friends going to a women's conference in Temple. Our decision to come two days early was a good one! What a gorgeous and well-maintained historic property! Coffee and visiting on the many porches, card playing in the dining room, exploring Waco - fabulous stay. We'll be back.

Great house for a large group. Loved the front porch and spacious rooms. We were there to celebrate my daughter’s Bridal Shower. I was thankful for the two refrigerators because I made and transported the cake and was able to keep it separate from all of our other food. The kitchen is a good size but if you want to do any serious cooking, bring what you need. The kitchen could use more cookware/bakeware storage containers. Other than that the house was great!! Would stay there again!!

Perfect for Families

This is a beautiful historical space to have family or friends. There are so many thoughtful details such as coffee, extra items in the pantry and lots of towels. The different porches are fantastic for relaxing, chatting and having coffee. Do yourself a favor and stay here, you'll never want to stay anywhere else in Waco.
