135 Barton Road sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the Briarwood subdivision of San Marcos, Texas. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home on a half-acre lot offers something that has become harder to find in the San Marcos market: genuine privacy, mature trees, and real outdoor living space. Listed by The Muñoz Group at Compass, it is now active on the Austin Board of REALTORS MLS.
The Lot at 135 Barton Road
The property sits on 22,651 square feet of land at the end of a low-traffic cul-de-sac in the Briarwood subdivision, surrounded by towering live oaks and a large mature sycamore tree. The backyard is fully fenced, with a dedicated garden area already in place. The lot is level, not in a FEMA flood plain, and oriented east, meaning the front of the home catches morning light while the backyard stays shaded through the heat of the afternoon.

A large deck extends directly off the kitchen at the rear of the home, creating an outdoor living space that connects the interior to the yard. It is sized for outdoor dining, weekend gatherings, or simply a quiet morning outside. Birds fill the trees throughout the day and wildlife passes through the area regularly, giving the property a feel that sits closer to a Hill Country retreat than a typical San Marcos subdivision.
Inside the Home
The 1,260-square-foot interior is organized around an open floorplan built for everyday living. The living room is anchored by a fireplace and features coffered ceilings that add height and character to the space. Flooring throughout is tile and laminate, and double-pane windows keep the home energy-efficient through the Texas summer months.
The kitchen includes a breakfast bar, a large pantry, and a full appliance package: freestanding electric range, dishwasher, disposal, and microwave. It opens to the dining area with direct access to the back deck. The laundry room is on the main level with electric washer and dryer hookups and additional built-in storage.
The primary suite is set apart from the secondary bedrooms and features coffered ceilings, a ceiling fan, and a walk-in closet. The en-suite bathroom includes a double vanity and walk-in shower. Both secondary bedrooms have ceiling fans and share access to the hall bathroom.
The 2-car attached garage features a single front-facing door with a garage door opener, plus driveway space for two additional vehicles. Exterior construction is a combination of brick veneer, stone veneer, HardiPlank siding, and masonry, with a composition roof.
