Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1973, the home is functional and move-in ready with a recently replaced HVAC system and fresh paint. However, the kitchen and bathrooms are dated (likely >20 years old) with older cabinetry and tile, and the presence of popcorn ceilings indicates a need for cosmetic updates.
The property's elevated lot positioning provides stunning northeast-facing views of the surrounding hills and Palomar Mountain, significantly enhancing its aesthetic appeal and value.
The home features a recently replaced central HVAC system and fresh interior paint, offering peace of mind and reducing immediate move-in maintenance costs for the buyer.
Unlike many hillside properties, this home features a large, flat, and fenced backyard, providing a versatile canvas for outdoor living, gardening, or play.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =6969, other record lot size in square feet = 6800.
The assigned local public schools, including Oak Hill Elementary and Orange Glen High, currently carry lower performance ratings, which may be a consideration for education-focused families.
With four bedrooms configured within 1,330 square feet, the individual room sizes and common areas may feel constrained compared to modern builds with similar bedroom counts.
Single-level 4 bedroom, 2 bath home in Escondido’s Oak Hill area with beautiful northeast-facing views of the surrounding hills, mountains, and Palomar Mountain. Set on an elevated lot, the home offers a practical floor plan with a family room fireplace, kitchen with adjacent dining area, and direct access to the backyard. The large, flat, fenced backyard gives the next owner plenty of room to create the outdoor space they want, whether that means adding a garden, play area, outdoor dining space, or simply enjoying the open feel and views. The home has fresh interior paint, a recently replaced central HVAC system, new appliances including matching front-loading Whirpool washer and dryer, and an attached 2-car garage. A great opportunity for a buyer looking for a single-level 4 bedroom home with views, usable yard space, and room to make it their own.
