Dutch Door House From ‘Fixer Upper’ Season 2 Now Available For $430,000

Although the home improvement show “Fixer Upper” has ended its run, the homes that Chip and Joanna Gaines processed continue to attract attention.

Now there’s a new opportunity for fans of the show to own their very own Gaines remodel. The Season 2 Dutch Door House is on the market in Waco, TX for $430,000.

If you don’t remember the renovation of this charming house, cast your mind back to 2015. The second episode of the second season featured Kelsey and Trip Purkswho chose this home to get the full Gaines treatment.

The couple would have bought the dilapidated property for $80,000, leaving them plenty of room in their $165,000 budget for Chip and Jo to do their magic.

Apparently the owners’ needs changed and they sold the abode in 2018 after listing it for $319,900. In 2019, the home returned to the market for $349,000 before selling for an undisclosed amount.

The current asking price sits well above the median home listing price of $245,000 in Waco. But homes remodeled by the “Fixer Upper” team command a premium — and rightly so.

Attractive residence

Starting with the facade, the dull paintwork of the house has taken on a new grey-green hue. The original Dutch door has also been given a makeover, adding to its vintage look.

The interiors have been lightened and brightened, with patio doors, refurbished flooring and an open dining and living area.

The property offers a total of four bedrooms and includes both the main house and a guest house. The latter is currently on short-term rental on Airbnb.

The 2,118 square foot main house features an open kitchen with granite counter tops, farmhouse sink and stainless steel appliances. A breakfast counter comes complete with seating.

The dining room has French doors that open to the back yard. The charming living room is centered around a wood-burning fireplace with the distinctive Les Gaines wood plank detail.
