Tucked beneath a canopy of mature oak trees on nearly half an acre, this distinctive 3 bedroom, 2 bath limestone home offers timeless Hill Country charm in one of San Marcos' most coveted neighborhoods without an HOA. Inside, 1,506 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space features Saltillo tile throughout, soaring vaulted ceilings with an exposed beam, recessed lighting, and a stunning floor-to-ceiling limestone fireplace that anchors the spacious living room. The open-concept layout seamlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas, creating an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. The oversized primary suite offers backyard views, a walk-in closet, private bath, and direct access to the backyard's outdoor living areas. Outside, enjoy a peaceful, tree-shaded backyard complete with a patio, pergola, storage shed, and a one-of-a-kind dinosaur smoker that conveys with the property. An attached 2 car garage, abundant outdoor space, and easy access to shopping, dining, Texas State University, and IH-35 make this home a rare opportunity to own a property full of character, privacy, and authentic Texas charm.
