$424,500
3 Bed 2 Bath 1,506 sqft $282/sqft Built 1983 0.47 acres 2-Car Garage Pool Turkey Hollow

Nearly half an acre, mature oak trees and no HOA set this distinctive San Marcos home apart. Tucked into the established Turkey Hollow neighborhood, this single story 3 bedroom, 2 bath limestone home pairs Hill Country character with an open, comfortable floor plan. Vaulted ceilings, an exposed beam, Saltillo tile and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling limestone fireplace create a living space unlike today's cookie-cutter construction. The oversized primary suite includes a walk-in closet, private bath and direct backyard access. Outside, the tree-shaded .47 acre lot offers a patio, pergola, storage building and plenty of room to relax, garden or entertain. Add an attached 2 car garage and convenient access to Texas State, downtown, shopping and I35, and you've found a rare combination of space, character and freedom in San Marcos.

At $282/sqft, this home is priced 22% above the San Marcos active market average of $232/sqft, reflecting premium positioning, typically tied to finishes, lot, location, or view. View Austin market report →
