About this House

The oldest home in Magical Martindale! Built by the town doctor, Dr. Lawson for his family between 1898 and 1900 and located in the Martindale Historical District, this 2,994 square-foot Queen Anne Victorian has passed through only four owners in its history. Situated on a block-deep 0.689 acres with mature trees, the home features a wraparound covered porch, hardwood floors, natural woodwork, multiple living and dining areas, transoms throughout, and five fireplaces. A rare find for the area, the home also includes an unfinished basement, offering storage or future potential. The original carriage house now serves as a 2-car garage, adding to the property's historic character. City water and sewer and central HVAC add everyday convenience to the charm. The property also has a grey water system that keeps the giant trees happy. Walk across the street to the San Marcos River and all that Martindale has to offer. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Martindale history - and the possibilities are endless! Showings are by appointment only.
