Price improved! — Opportunity knocks in the heart of Martindale: this charming shotgun-style home sits on a .55-acre corner lot shaded by some of the most impressive mature pecans and oaks in town, just a short walk to the banks of the beautiful San Marcos River. Original hardwood floors, tall ceilings, crown molding, and a knotty pine-paneled flex room give this 1950s home character you can't replicate. Wide covered front porch, spacious living area, generous bedrooms, and a kitchen with vintage tile counters and abundant cabinetry. Detached garage includes a plumbed garage apartment — ideal for a workshop, guest quarters, or future income potential. Now priced well below what the lot alone would command, this is a rare chance to bring your vision to one of Martindale's best lots. Whether you restore, expand, or reimagine, this is the kind of property — and price — that doesn't come along often. Sold as-is; seller is motivated and open to all reasonable offers. Come see the trees, feel the porch breeze, and make your move.
