The work has already been done.

216 Mary Max Circle stands apart from the others. A newer 30-year architectural shingled roof, bright fresh paint inside and out, and brand new carpet in all the bedrooms. Established live oaks in the backyard set this one apart. Light ceramic tile through the common areas and a spacious open layout with room for a large dining table and island seating keeps everyone connected without crowding. Expansive quartz counters and 26 kitchen cabinets are an embarrassment of storage, and the true walk-in pantry gives staple items and large appliances an out-of-sight home. Granite double vanities in both baths.

With no entry steps and a wide-open floorplan, this home is more accessible than most in the neighborhood without having been purposely built that way. The split plan puts real distance between the bedroom wings: a natural fit for families with older kids, multigenerational households, or roommates.

Stainless steel fridge, microwave, and dishwasher stay. Two-inch blinds on every window, front and back yard irrigation, wood fence, and native landscaping. No project list required.

Retreat on Willow Creek is a small, newer, quiet community on the west side of San Marcos, settled under mature oaks and removed from the noise. Walk the dogs a mile to Purgatory Creek Natural Area, or explore the network of parks and trails woven through the neighborhood. Bike 3.5 miles to Texas State University or into downtown San Marvelous. Thai, Mexican food, and BBQ are a walk away. Austin is 30 miles out, and the interstate is easy from this address.

This is the kind of neighborhood that earns its reputation quietly.

At $159/sqft, this home is 31% below the San Marcos active market average of $229/sqft, potentially representing value relative to comparable properties currently on the market. View Austin market report →
