Description

This Discovery Hills home is ready for its next chapter. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, and the first time on the market since new! This two-story home offers the right blend of size, value, and location in one of San Marcos's best neighborhoods. Once inside, a generous open layout greets you, including a formal living room and family room. These rooms flow into the dining area and kitchen, which features a large counter space and a designer backsplash. Entertaining is a breeze with the open concept and direct backyard access. A large walk-in pantry, laundry room, and a half-bath finish off the first floor. The backyard is your own private oasis full of mature trees and plants. With the oversized patio, you can imagine the peaceful nights by a fire pit or large celebratory gatherings. Upstairs, all four bedrooms offer large closet spaces; three have large walk-in closets. The primary suite feels like a true escape with vaulted ceilings, an oversized bathroom featuring an oversized bathtub, a dual-sink vanity, and a separate shower. Just outside the front door, you’re just moments away from walking trails leading to Discovery Lake or a hike to Devils Peak—a great trail system for the whole family to enjoy, including the four-legged variety. There is no HOA in this community. The single-car garage, one of three garage spaces, was converted into a studio with its own bathroom, perfect for extended guests or a multigenerational family. It can be easily converted back to garage space.
