<p class="">Hi Friends!</p>



<p class="">Welcome to FunCycled! I&#8217;m Sarah Trop, an interior designer in Upstate NY who loves to share travel tips. Especially to places with great designs. On our&nbsp;recent <a href="https://funcycled.com/funcycled-news/tips-for-a-trip-to-the-magnolia-market-and-silos-bakery/">visit to Magnolia Market</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://funcycled.com/tuesdays-treasures/what-to-do-while-visiting-magnolia-market/">the Silos</a>, Waco&nbsp;and <a href="https://magnolia.com/visit/eat/magnolia-table/">Magnolia Table</a>, I compiled a list of houses that were on Fixer Upper &nbsp;that you could drive by and take a look at. This is a fun thing to do on a rainy day or after the store closes while you&#8217;re in Waco, Tx. You can check out more of our trips, and tips for <a href="https://funcycled.com/category/travel/magnolia-trips-waco-tx/">enjoying all things Magnolia by clicking here</a>.</p>

<p class="">5. The German Schmear House &#8211; One of my favorite (you can check out inside pictures <a href="https://www.hgtv.com/shows/fixer-upper/fixer-upper-old-world-charm-for-newlyweds-pictures">here</a>)</p>

<p class="">6. Shotgun House &#8211; this adorable house is right near Magnolia Market and you can see inside pictures <a href="https://www.hgtv.com/shows/fixer-upper/fixer-upper-takes-on-a-vintage-tiny-house-pictures">here</a>.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">

<p class="">7. <a href="https://www.hgtv.com/shows/fixer-upper/fixer-upper-season-1-video-highlights-videos">Pilot Show</a> &#8211; yup, this is the house that started it all!! Who would have guessed? So fun to see where they started.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li class="">121 Castle Ave, Waco, Tx</li>
</ul>



<img decoding="async" width="1333" height="1000" src="https://funcycled.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/34462434100_51bf12de7c_o.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-13062"/>



<p class="">8. <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/fixer-upper-couple-drunk-driver-waco_us_5963aed5e4b005b0fdc70834">Drama Drama House</a> &#8211; I call it that because this is the couple who said Chip and Jo sold them a house in a bad area. When I went by during this trip, half of the front was boarded up because someone drove into the front of their house. Not the best area for sure, but definitely worth a quick drive by.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li class="">1902 Alexander Ave, Waco, Tx</li>
</ul>



<img decoding="async" width="1333" height="1000" src="https://funcycled.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/34700205901_ee727b236d_o.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-13063"/>

One thing to keep in mind is that it&#8217;s about a 30 minute drive from the Magnolia Market and Silos.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li class="">323 S Madison St,&nbsp;Mc Gregor, TX &nbsp;76657</li>

<p class="">10. Chip and Joanna Gain&#8217;s House! Magnolia Farms! &#8211; We stumbled past this house when on our way to where we stayed at the <a href="https://www.gatheringoaksretreat.com">Gathering Oaks</a>. Just pop in the address below for the Gathering Oaks and just before you turn into the resort (about 1/4 mile before), you&#8217;ll see their house on the left.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li class="">316 Canyon Oaks Rd, Crawford, TX 76638</li>
</ul>



<p class="">Just a couple obvious things that are&nbsp;common sense to me but just in case&#8230; please don&#8217;t pull onto any of these properties, try to approach the houses for pictures or stop traffic because you&#8217;re gawking. Give people their privacy please! This is meant for a fun drive around town to check out some pretty houses!</p>



<p class="">Bonus! David reached out and asked me to include his house (so you can have 11 now!). The address is 1403 N 5th St. He also wrote a book if you&#8217;re interested in reading it. You can <a href="https://amzn.to/3U9Z92k">buy it here</a>.&nbsp;His episode is called &#8220;Active Boomers want to live near park&#8221;.</p>

<p class="">Here are some other addresses that may also be Fixer Upper&#8217;s but I haven&#8217;t had a chance to research them yet:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li class="">2705 Concord Street, Waco, Tx</li>



<li class="">3209 4th Street, Waco, Tx</li>



<li class="">2704 or 2702 Colcord street, Waco, Tx</li>



<li class="">2705 Colcord st, Waco, Tx</li>



<li class="">3317 Castle Drive, Waco, Tx</li>



<li class="">300 39th Street, Waco, Tx</li>
</ul>
