The Retro Loft is a hip urban loft with a trendy mid century design that also draws in the fashion and culture of the 60's and 70's. A pair of side by side French doors overlook a quiet courtyard heated pool. Skylights bathe the living room in natural light, making it the perfect place to relax. The master bedroom boasts a king-sized bed with pressed, triple-sheeted linens. In the living room there is wall mounted queen-sized Murphy bed with the most comfy 11 inch memory foam mattress you may ever experience. The loft has an in-unit washer/dryer. Guests will also love the fully-equipped kitchen, complete with coffee and tea. Entertainment includes a large screen SmartTV with Direct TV/Netflix and LED lighting to help set the mood for any occasion.

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!

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 complex is in the heart of the bustling Silo District, next door to the historic Hippodrome Dinner Theater and steps away from eclectic shops, antique stores, wine tasting rooms, Magnolia Market, and live music.

Downtown Waco has plenty of free street parking and Ubers are readily available. Free parking is provided in our private garage on the ground level below the lofts. The loft is walking distance to the Silos, downtown shops, and restaurants. A free Trolly bus takes visitors to all the cool shopping areas including the Solos.

The Retro Loft is on the second floor and accessed only by stairs. If this is an issue, please consider our 4 bedroom listing on the first floor.

Hello, my name is Jim Olmsted. I am the owner of the Green Door Lofts. In my real life, I am a 56 year old physician specializing in radiology. In my alter ego life, I am an outgoing host who enjoys meeting people and sharing my vibrant community with visitors from all over the world. I have lived in Waco for 25 years, having relocated downtown to the lofts four years ago. Useless trivia about me is that I own at least eight bicycles; I've lost count. I enjoy racing all of them, mountain, road, gravel, and even Ironman triathlon. Downtown living is perfect for me as many of our rides in Waco depart from downtown riverfront area, and the world renowned Cameron Park trail system is less than a mile away. A proud father of two sons, both young physicians, I enjoy traveling the world with my boys and my friends. Owning and managing the Green Door Lofts is my newest exciting adventure. I look forward to meeting new people and sharing my incredible community with them.
