About This Home
As of April 2025Now priced $50K below appraised value! This is a very special property with incredible potential. A solid 1979 build with hardwoods and saltillo tile, a metal roof, and a circular brick driveway, it sits on almost a full acre right in San Marcos and minutes from Texas State. A wildlife corridor nearby brings foxes and deer, and horses are sometimes seen grazing on the parcel behind. The property is zoned SF-6 and could also be subdivided if desired. The main house welcomes you with a broad, covered front porch that spans the width of the house. Inside, beamed cathedral ceilings grace the front living room and accent the floor-to-ceiling stone mantel. Skylights and a wall of windows brighten the sunken family room and showcase the terrace and towering oaks outside. The well-appointed kitchen boasts a six-burner gas range with hood, an oversized stainless steel refrigerator, and custom-designed cabinetry that provides very thoughtful storage. A large detached garage with A/C and a full workshop stands on the southeast corner of the lot and is accessible from Viola Street on the side. Above the garage is a remodeled studio apartment complete with kitchenette, bathroom, laundry closet, and a built-in murphy bed. On the northwest side of the property, an attached carport provides two additional covered parking spaces. This is a very special opportunity to invest in San Marcos, one of the nation's fastest-growing cities. Property is an estate and will be sold as-is. A pre-inspection and as-is appraisal are available.
