117 S Wilson St

Tucked just off the Historic District, this San Marcos home offers the charm and walkability everyone loves—without the restrictions that often come with historic designation. Downtown dining, shopping, trails, and the river feel like natural extensions of your front door, creating an easy, connected lifestyle that’s hard to find. The home has been thoughtfully curated with intention and warmth, balancing style with livability. Smart design choices enhance both form and function, with custom built-ins throughout—including bookshelves, cabinetry, photo ledges, and closet systems—that maximize storage while maintaining clean lines. A Murphy bed and linen cabinet add flexibility to the smallest bedroom, while built-in desks make efficient use of space and can be easily reconfigured as needs change. Every space feels purposeful, comfortable, and designed to support both everyday living and entertaining. Outdoor living is a true highlight. The yard is a peaceful retreat filled with native plants selected to thrive in the Texas climate—withstanding both freezes and summer heat while attracting hummingbirds, butterflies, and a variety of birds. Enjoy morning coffee on the porch, evenings on the patio, or quiet moments simply taking in the sights and sounds of nature. Along the side of the home is a detached, thoughtfully designed flexible space offering privacy and beautiful tree-lined views. It easily adapts to a variety of uses—an art studio, workshop, creative space, fitness room, or quiet escape tailored to your lifestyle. Life here is easy and connected. Walk or bike to the San Marcos River, explore nearby trails, or enjoy the energy of downtown. Show up when you want to socialize, retreat when you want peace—the neighborhood strikes that balance beautifully. This is a home that invites you to slow down, stay connected, and enjoy the best of San Marcos—walkable, welcoming, vibrant and full of possibility.
