Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1972, the home is well-maintained but reflects a dated aesthetic consistent with a 20+ year old renovation. While it features essential functional upgrades like newer HVAC, dual-pane windows, and stainless appliances, the kitchen's tile countertops, fluorescent light box, and the louvered closet doors throughout indicate the property needs cosmetic modernization to meet current standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 23522, living area = 2215.
The property sits on a generous 0.54-acre lot featuring lush mature landscaping and a private pool, offering a rare level of seclusion and outdoor living space in South Escondido.
With a downstairs bedroom and office paired with 1.5 baths, the layout is perfectly suited for multi-generational living or a potential ADU conversion.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 4.
