Green Door Lofts-Stained Glass Loft

Green Door Lofts, featured on Fixer Upper "Urban Loft Challenge" and referred to as "Funky Town" by Chip, is a 9-unit luxury loft complex in the heart of Waco's bustling Silo District. We are next door to the historic Hippodrome Dinner Theater and steps away from eclectic shops, antique stores, wine tasting rooms, and live music. Magnolia Market is an easy walk away, or take the free trolley that stops outside. Each loft is crafted with a unique flair and offers a distinct experience.

The Stained Glass Loft is the crown jewel of the Green Door Lofts. This 4 bedroom, 3,000 square foot, tri-level loft is nothing less than a stunning masterpiece, boasting over 20 stained glass panels. As you walk into the massive library/living room, you see a second magical door, a replica of the Green Door, finished in natural wood stain and adorned with stunning stained glass panels of a purple Iris. This door leads to a private porch, with a curbside view of lovely Austin Avenue. This loft is simply stunning in every detail. Three seating areas, large dining room table seats 8. Full gourmet kitchen with high end fixtures, 16 foot ceilings, 650 thread count pressed linens, and of course prime Austin Avenue location. If this unit is too large for your needs, I do have very nice 1 and 2 bedroom units in my building that are equally impressive.

The building's courtyard has a seasonally HEATED pool with lounge chairs and tables. The mezzanine deck overlooks the avenue below - perfect for people watching! Free secure garage parking is provided to our guests at The Green Door Lofts.

A unique code for keyless entry makes check-in and check-out flexible and convenient. The owner lives on-site and can be reached by cell phone any time. We're happy to provide suggestions for local eateries and activities, in addition to the loft's information guide.

The Green Door Lofts gets its name from the famous green door that welcomes residents into the courtyard. The green door is also referred to locally as the Hobbit Door. Immediately next door to the Hippodrome theater, the door serves as a backdrop for visitors on the street stopping and posing for selfies. Countless brides have ventured to the door for their bridal portraits. We love it!! This 9 unit complex is located on a trendy street that links the historic old homes of Waco with the parks along the Brazos River. Next door is the iconic Waco Hippodrome, where you can grab dinner and an adult beverage while watching a play, concert, or show. Waco’s free trolley stops in front of the loft before continuing to the Silos and other downtown shops.

A few blocks away is Cameron Park, a 416-acre stretch of land with hike and bike trails and the Waco Zoo. We are also located within five minutes of Baylor's McLane Stadium. On game days, Baylor’s free shuttle that runs between downtown and the stadium is only a couple blocks away.

Downtown Waco has plenty of free street parking and Ubers are readily available. We have a secured garage on the first floor for our guests. The loft is walking distance to shops and restaurants. We are directly on the free trolley route for shopping around the Silos.

The Stained Glass Loft is on the first floor, and guests must be able to descend 4 steps with a sturdy handrail to descend to the master suite. The additional sleeping areas are reached by a spiral staircase to the loft level.
- For our guests we request quiet hours from 10p-7a
Although children are welcome, please note the Green Door Lofts are not "child-proofed"

Great Downtown Location & Unique Loft!
Our girls trip was made even better by our loft. We utilized the pool in the courtyard, could walk to the Silos and had plenty of space. We even decided to "stay-in" one night, just to enjoy our loft!

Very special place!
This loft is fabulous! The owner, Jim is an excellent host. Check in was easy-check out was a little more difficult because we didn’t want to leave. Beds were comfy. Our group was three lady cousins/friends in their 60s. We walked to many destinations and restaurants, and felt comfortable doing so day and evening. The loft was loaded with everything we needed and more. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends. Thank you Ruth (Jim’s mother) for the delicious homemade pecan rolls. They were so yummy! Jim, thank you also for the tour of the other lofts.

Just oerfect
This loft was absolutely beautiful!! The kids thoroughly enjoyed the spiral staircase and their own rooms upstairs. I enjoyed the chairs by the fire and just taking in all of the beautiful details and craftsmanship of the decor. Waco seems to shutdown on Sundays and holidays, so the loft, pool, and a visit to a nearby park made the trip so special for a family get away.

Baylor graduation
Six family members headed to Waco to attend my daughter’s graduation. I always read the reviews prior to booking on VRBO. The pictures made it look great but reviews tell the story. In this case the pictures did not do the property justice. Everything was more than expected. Beautiful accommodations, perfect location and very comfortable. I could have not been more pleased. Thank you Jim

Amazing Must Stay Property
Jim is an amazing host! This property did not disappoint. The space was so well thought out from the living areas to the shared outdoor spaces. The loft was incredibly quiet for the large space and cozy too. The colors, decor and furnishings were perfect for our group of 6, could easily have 8 and not feel crowded. The bedrooms each had good character and comfort. The outdoor patio offered privacy but also a good view and interactions for the street atmosphere. The lofts were fully booked while we stayed but we were always able to find alone time in the shared spaces. It was lovely!

Waco Girls Trip
We chose this property for our Waco girls trip. Our selection was based on the convenience of walking distance to many of our shopping and eating places, along with the silos nearby. This property was amazing! It was extremely clean, comfortable, and perfect for us moms to relax and enjoy some much-needed time away! I must give credit to Jim who was a very kind and helpful host! He was great to work with for all my questions prior to coming to Waco, as well as while we were staying on the property. I have stayed in many rental properties for family vacations and this one was hands-down the best experience! I highly recommend this property to future Waco travelers! Jim-Thanks for the generous hospitality and wonderful memories made at your property! I look forward to returning in the near future!

We enjoyed an incredible girls weekend. The loft is beautiful, better than the photos, excellent location within easy walking distance (even with packages of goodies from the Silos to carry back), well appointed with all the extras you need for vacation.
