Set in San Marcos with a wooded backdrop and a private pool, this light-filled 3 bedroom, 2 bath home strikes the perfect balance between a peaceful retreat and an entertainer's dream. Tall ceilings throughout give the space an airy, open feel, and the long list of recent upgrades means you can move in and enjoy it from day one. Everything that matters has been touched. A brand-new, high-efficiency AC with rebalanced ductwork keeps every room comfortable year-round. New flooring and fresh paint give the interior a clean, modern feel throughout. The water softener, water heater, and dishwasher are all less than two years old, and the kitchen features granite countertops alongside a new range and microwave — ready for everything from quiet weeknight dinners to full weekend gatherings. The primary suite is a proper retreat — spacious and serene, with a jetted garden tub, separate shower, two walk-in closets, and direct access to the back patio. A front office adds flexibility for working from home or a dedicated quiet space. Outside is where this home truly shines. The pool has been fully refinished and fitted with a new heater, making it just as inviting on a cool spring evening as it is on a scorching Texas afternoon. The covered patio backs to a wooded area where deer, fox, and squirrels are regular visitors — the kind of backyard view that never gets old. The location is just as impressive. Less than a mile from Texas State University, two neighborhood parks, and direct access to the San Marcos Greenbelt — your backyard is a gateway to over 40 miles of hiking, biking, and wildlife watching. Move-in ready and built for living well.
