Everything Chip and Joanna Gaines touch turns to gold, right? Maybe not.

A one-bedroom home the pair renovated on “Fixer Upper” in 2016 has been on the market for a long time.

The skinny home in Waco, TX, was renovated in the Season 3 episode “Tiny House, Big Charm.” The buyers, who got the home for free, paid $5,000 to move it from its original spot and an additional $31,000 for the lot where it currently sits. (The lot is located near the Magnolia Silos and Market.)

Chip and Jo transformed the worn-down 1920s build into a charming home with a colorful main suite, bonus loft room, and backyard with a fire pit. Despite the home’s HGTV pedigree, the current owners have struggled to sell it.

Perhaps the price is daunting. Fresh off its makeover, the home was listed in 2017 for $950,000. It was relisted in October 2023 for the same price. Its current list price of $799,500 comes out to a rather robust $761 per square foot for the 1,050-square-foot home.

Let’s take a look inside this unique “Fixer Upper” house and contemplate what buyers would pay for it.

With fresh blue paint, chunky trim around the windows, and sleek new railings, the house has major curb appeal. It sits on a 6,970-square-foot lot that’s been spruced up with elegant plantings.

Inside, the walls are a creamy white and the original pine floors are restored.

The small kitchen has a white backsplash and black countertops. There’s also plenty of bar seating and open shelving.

Next to the kitchen is a staircase to a loft space. In the “Fixer Upper” episode, Chip explains that a pulley system allows the staircase to retract up to the ceiling. This is a thoughtful feature in a one-bedroom home where space is scarce and precious.

The main bedroom is painted a bold blue, and the en suite bathroom rocks an industrial aesthetic with a cement double sink.

On “Fixer Upper,” Chip notes that this is the first time they installed a concrete vanity with the sinks embedded.

Out back, Chip and Jo added a fire pit and plenty of seating space. Just beyond the fire pit is a grassy area for kids and pets to run around.

Will a “Fixer Upper” fan finally snap up this famous house, now nearing three months on the market? We’ll keep our eyes peeled and report back.
