Property Description
Lovely single-story home in the heart of San Marcos, ideally situated in the well-cared-for Woods neighborhood. Recent improvements add both comfort and value, including a brand-new HVAC system, a newer roof replaced in 2022, replacement windows and sliding doors, refreshed backyard landscaping, and owned solar. Offering four bedrooms and two full bathrooms, this inviting home combines comfortable everyday living with thoughtful updates, flexible spaces, and a convenient location close to many of the area’s everyday essentials. Enter to discover a welcoming living room highlighted by a large picture window that fills the space with natural light and a fireplace that creates a warm, comfortable focal point. A quaint front patio adds charm and provides a pleasant spot to enjoy a morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day. The dining area flows seamlessly into the kitchen, creating an easy, connected layout for both daily living and entertaining. The kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and counter seating illuminated by pendant lighting, offering a casual place for meals, conversation, or homework. A built-in media station in the dining and kitchen area adds valuable functionality for organizing schedules, working from home, or managing everyday tasks. Outside, the spacious and private backyard offers even more room to enjoy. With no rear neighbors and the property backing to the community park, the setting feels open and peaceful. A large patio creates plenty of space for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the generous grassy area provides room for play, pets, or simply relaxing outdoors. There is also ample space to personalize the yard with additional landscaping, garden beds, flowers, or other outdoor features. A two-car garage provides additional storage and everyday convenience. The Woods HOA offers a community park, biking and hiking trails, a playground, and a basketball court. The home is also just down the street from Woodland Park Middle School and Woodland Park & Pool, and close to grocery stores, Costco, coffee shops, restaurants, Highway 78, colleges, and much more. With its single-level layout, spacious backyard, inviting indoor-outdoor flow, and convenient San Marcos location, this home offers a comfortable setting with room to enjoy today and personalize for the future.
