STRICTLY BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Tucked away on a private cul-de-sac in one of Escondido’s most peaceful neighborhoods, this spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath home blends comfort, versatility, and investment potential. Set on an elevated .36-acre lot with sweeping views and no HOA, it offers privacy, charm, and convenience — just minutes from top-rated schools, Kit Carson Park, Vineyard Golf Course, Westfield North County Mall, the San Diego Safari Park, and the coast. Filled with natural light, the home has been thoughtfully renovated in 2015 and 2021, with fresh paint inside and out this year. Upgrades include paid-off solar, dual-paned windows, ceiling fans, central AC with a smart thermostat, and an ADT security system. The kitchen features updated cabinetry, granite counters, and a stylish backsplash that flows into the dining and living areas. The lower level, with its own entrance, full kitchen, bath, and fireplace, is ideal for multi-generational living or rental income. Both entries are stair-free, offering accessibility for aging parents. With ample storage, a laundry/work area, and a detached storage unit, it’s also well-suited for a work-from-home lifestyle. Outside, a gated driveway with automated entry accommodates 8+ cars and welcomes guests with a white picket fence, turf lawn, roses, palms, and low-maintenance landscaping. Expansive upper and lower decks showcase sunrise-to-sunset views, while fruit trees — including orange, guava, fig, nectarine, lemon, and papaya — add a loved, well-tended touch. The versatile lower level includes its own private entrance, full kitchen, bathroom, and a cozy log-burning fireplace — making it an ideal space for multi-generational living, rental income, or even dividing into two units. Both entry points are accessible without stairs, creating an excellent option for aging parents. With abundant storage throughout, including a dedicated laundry/tool/work area and an additional detached storage unit, the home also doubles as the perfect work-from-home setup with valuable tax benefits. Outdoors, the property truly shines. The gated driveway with automated entry accommodates 8+ cars, while the front yard welcomes guests with a classic white picket fence, quality artificial turf, palms, roses, and other low-maintenance landscaping supported by a sprinkler system. Security is enhanced with wired Night Owl cameras monitoring every entry point. Expansive upper and lower decks showcase breathtaking sunrises, sunsets, and rolling hill views. Fruit trees — including orange, guava, fig, nectarine, lemon, and papaya — alongside vibrant rose gardens make the property feel loved and well cared for.

Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1973, this property has undergone extensive and thoughtful renovations in 2015 and 2021, with fresh paint in 2024, making it move-in ready. The main kitchen is a highlight, featuring updated white shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, a stylish subway tile backsplash, and modern stainless steel appliances, all in excellent condition. Major systems like paid-off solar, dual-paned windows, and central AC with a smart thermostat are recent upgrades. While the lower-level kitchen is functional and clean, its style and appliances are less contemporary than the main kitchen. The property boasts well-maintained hardwood flooring throughout most living areas. The combination of significant recent updates and overall good condition of systems and finishes earns it a 'Good' rating, falling just short of 'Excellent' due to its original build year and some components not being 'virtually new' across the entire property.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Income/Multi-Generational Potential: The dedicated lower level with its own entrance, full kitchen, and bath offers significant versatility for rental income, multi-generational living, or even potential for two separate units, enhanced by stair-free accessibility.
Extensive Modern Upgrades & Energy Efficiency: Recent renovations (2015, 2021, fresh paint 2024) include paid-off solar, dual-paned windows, central AC with smart thermostat, and an updated kitchen, significantly reducing future operational costs and enhancing comfort.
Private & Secure Elevated Lot with Sweeping Views: Situated on a private cul-de-sac with no HOA, the elevated .36-acre lot provides sweeping views, enhanced privacy, a gated driveway with automated entry, and comprehensive security systems (ADT, Night Owl cameras).
Abundant Outdoor Living & Landscaping: Expansive upper and lower decks offer breathtaking sunrise-to-sunset views, complemented by a variety of mature fruit trees and well-maintained, low-maintenance landscaping, creating an inviting outdoor oasis.
Ample Parking & Storage Solutions: A gated driveway accommodates 8+ cars, while extensive interior storage, a dedicated laundry/work area, and an additional detached storage unit cater to practical needs and work-from-home lifestyles.

Cons

Age of Property (Potential for Unseen Issues): Despite significant renovations, the 1973 build year means some original structural or utility components not explicitly mentioned as upgraded (e.g., main plumbing lines, foundation) could eventually require maintenance or replacement.
Inland Location Preference: While offering convenience to local amenities, the property's Escondido location is inland, which may not align with the preferences of buyers specifically seeking a coastal lifestyle or immediate proximity to the San Diego urban core.
Ongoing Landscape Management: The property features extensive and diverse landscaping, including numerous fruit trees and rose gardens. While beautiful, maintaining such a variety of plantings, even with artificial turf and a sprinkler system, will require consistent effort or professional services.
