Move-In Ready 4-Bedroom in Waxahachie, TX — Primary Suite Downstairs, Settlers Glen
Here's something you don't find every day in Waxahachie: a 4-bedroom home that's actually move-in ready, in a community people are actively competing to get into, at a price point that makes sense.
227 Old Spanish Trail in Settlers Glen checks every box — and in a market where well-priced, updated homes are moving fast, that's not a statement I make lightly.
Whether you're relocating to the southern DFW Metroplex, outgrowing your current space, or finally making the move to Ellis County, this home is worth a serious look. Let me break down exactly what makes it stand out.
The Layout That Actually Works for Families
One of the first questions I get from buyers searching in Waxahachie is: "Can we get a floor plan where the primary suite is separate from the kids' rooms?" The answer is usually no — until now.
227 Old Spanish Trail is set up the way most families actually want to live:
• Primary suite downstairs — private, quiet, and completely separated from the rest of the house
• Three bedrooms upstairs — ideal for kids, guests, or a dedicated home office setup
• 2.5 bathrooms — no morning traffic jams
That primary-down configuration is genuinely harder to find than people expect in this price range. When it shows up in Settlers Glen, it doesn't sit for long.
Open-Concept Living That Actually Feels Open
A lot of homes in the $300K–$400K range in Waxahachie claim to be "open concept" but still feel chopped up. This one doesn't.
Soaring ceilings and oversized living spaces create real volume — the kind that makes the whole main floor feel connected without losing function. Natural light floods through the layout, which keeps the space from feeling dark or cramped regardless of the time of day.
Hosting Thanksgiving? Easy. Working from home in one corner while the kids are in another? Totally doable. This is a floor plan designed for how people actually use their homes, not just how they photograph for listings.
Why Settlers Glen in Waxahachie?
Settlers Glen is one of the more sought-after established communities in Waxahachie — and for good reason. It offers the kind of neighborhood character that takes years to develop: mature landscaping, established streets, and a location that's hard to beat for commuters and families alike.
From 227 Old Spanish Trail, you're just minutes from:
• I-35 — making the commute to Dallas, Fort Worth, or anywhere in between genuinely manageable
• Shopping and dining — Waxahachie's retail corridor has expanded significantly, so you're not driving 30 minutes to run errands
• Everyday conveniences — grocery, healthcare, and services without the big-city congestion
Waxahachie continues to attract buyers from across the DFW Metroplex who want more space, lower property taxes, and genuine community — without giving up access. Ellis County consistently draws relocation buyers from Dallas County who are done paying for square footage they can't afford.
What "Move-In Ready" Actually Means Here
I'll be direct: "move-in ready" gets thrown around a lot. In this case, it means the work has been done. You're not walking into a project. You're not budgeting for immediate repairs or cosmetic updates before you can actually live there comfortably.
The home has been updated and maintained to reflect today's buyers' expectations — modern style throughout, functional systems, and spaces that feel current without being trendy. This is the kind of home where you close, hand your movers the address, and start living.
That matters more than it sounds in a market where buyers are fatigued by overpriced homes that need $30K–$50K in work on day one.
Who This Home Is Right For
Not every home is for everyone — and this one has a pretty clear buyer profile:
• Growing families who need separation between the primary suite and kids' rooms
• Remote workers who need dedicated office space (three upstairs bedrooms = options)
• DFW commuters who want southern Metroplex pricing without sacrificing access
• Buyers tired of bidding wars on overpriced or outdated inventory elsewhere in the Metroplex
If any of those descriptions sound like you, this is a home worth scheduling a showing for before someone else does.

Is Waxahachie a good place to buy a home right now?

What should I know about buying a 4-bedroom home in Waxahachie with a primary suite downstairs?
