About This Home

As of September 2025

Welcome to your North County dream home—on the market for the first time in over three decades! Nestled atop a private hill with sweeping views, this beautifully remodeled residence in South Escondido offers over $450,000 in recent upgrades, combining timeless charm with modern luxury. Driving through the gated entry and up the newer grand concrete driveway, you’ll be enchanted by a welcoming brick porch that sets the tone for what’s inside. The front door opens into a warm and inviting entry with rich wood flooring, classic wainscoting, and a spacious living room featuring a fireplace and custom built-ins, and magical light from the many Marvin wood windows throughout. The heart of the home is the magazine-worthy kitchen—a true chef’s dream. Outfitted with top-of-the-line Thermador panel-ready appliances, including a 30” column refrigerator and twin freezer, paneled dishwasher, and Scotsman ice maker, this kitchen is built to impress. A 48” gas range with six burners and a double oven, a microwave drawer, massive center island, and stunning marble countertops elevate both form and function. Custom inset cabinetry has a plethora of storage including a to-die-for alphabetized spice drawer and four sets of pantry doors with pull outs, demonstrating the attention to detail throughout. The family room is adjacent to the kitchen and is currently being used as a dining room with a second fireplace flanked by cabinetry and floating shelves. A charming sitting room off of the hallway also served as the dining room at one time, so use your imagination and create the space of your dreams. Upstairs, the private primary suite is your personal retreat, complete with a walk-in closet, an office alcove, and a peaceful balcony perfect for morning coffee with a view. All bathrooms have been fully remodeled with designer touches—new tile, lighting, fixtures, cabinetry, and tiled showers and tub. All bedrooms are spacious, but the versatile 4th bedroom is particularly large and has its own private entrance and can be used as an office, guest suite, or potential granny flat. A spacious laundry room connects the space, offering flexibility for multi-generational living or work-from-home needs. Outside, enjoy thoughtfully designed landscaping with new low-maintenance turf, a charming “secret garden” dining brick patio with built-in BBQ and cafe lights, and a large, sparkling pool with a view and room to host family and friends. The expansive side yard may offer potential for an ADU, second garage, or JDU (buyer to verify with the County). Surrounded by majestic oak trees and just minutes from I-15, shopping and dining, this exceptional home also offers walkability to Bernardo Elementary School and Felicita Park. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a legacy property in one of San Diego's fabulous North County neighborhoods. A true blend of views, privacy, convenience and beauty!
