Some houses are built. This one was kept. Most houses from the 1950s have been updated into something unrecognizable. This one hasn’t. The original oak floors, the light fixtures, the formal rooms, the tile counters: all still here and still themselves. The 31 foot long family room addition is the exception: beamed ceiling and generous windows show a later hand at work, and it earns its place by flooding the back of the house with light.
Metal roof, updated central A/C, and a sound foundation mean the practical side of things is already handled. A rare alley access gives you both front and rear entrances on an oversized .3-acre level lot, with easy access to build an accessory dwelling unit for family or additional income.
Holland Street is one of the more desirable addresses in central San Marcos for good reason. You’re on foot to Texas State University, Wake The Dead Coffee, your favorite Tex-Mex restaurant, and Schulle Canyon Natural Area, with no neighbors looking back at you from across the street.
An easy paint job will make this home fresh and authentically yours. A thoughtful renovation makes it exactly what you want it to be. Either way, it’s yours to keep.
