This home is an entertainer’s and gardener’s delight in peaceful Fallbrook. 1247 Firecrest Way is a breathtaking Tuscan-style estate featuring a desirable single-story floor plan with a pool and jacuzzi, an eight-person fire pit, a large custom garden, a mini citrus orchard, and an elevated gazebo with stunning views. Built in 2000 and thoroughly remodeled in 2018 by the present owners, this home boasts 2,861 square feet on a lush, fully flat 0.5-acre lot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. It features 3 spacious bedrooms with bonus room/additional bedroom opportunity and two and a half baths. The third-car garage provides ample storage, space for a motorcycle, a home gym, or an artist’s studio. The property is just minutes from shopping, restaurants, wineries, and equestrian opportunities. Stepping inside, the home showcases a beautifully reimagined interior with extensive upgrades. All flooring was replaced with stylish cedar-style tile, offering a sleek yet low-maintenance look. The interior was professionally repainted, and dual-pane energy-efficient windows were installed throughout, enhancing both comfort and efficiency. A butler’s passage connecting the kitchen and dining room was converted into a spacious walk-in pantry, while a small hallway closet was removed to expand the laundry room. The outdoor spaces have been completely transformed into a stunning retreat. A paid-off solar system, installed in 2019, eliminates electricity costs. The front yard was redesigned with drought-tolerant landscaping on an automatic sprinkler system, colorful plant selections, terracotta paths, and attractive rock accents. Architectural stonework was added to the garage entries, courtyard, and turret, complemented by professional exterior painting for enhanced curb appeal. The backyard is where this home truly shines, offering a resort-style atmosphere with a beautifully upgraded pool and spa. All-new concrete decking, a custom pony wall, and a new stairway lead to a private citrus orchard with tangerine, lime, orange, and lemon trees. Elevated garden boxes were thoughtfully built with protective wire mesh to keep out birds and ground critters, ensuring a perfect space for homegrown vegetables and herbs. A spacious shed, placed on a concrete pad, provides additional storage for gardening tools and supplies. Nearby, a built-in fire pit with lava rocks from Hawaii creates a cozy setting for evening gatherings, while the large custom outdoor BBQ, connected directly to the gas line, makes entertaining effortless. Built-in lighting ensures a seamless cooking experience, even after sunset. A soothing waterfall adds to the tranquil ambiance, and all pool functions, including temperature settings, are conveniently controlled by a keypad near the backyard entrance. This peaceful sanctuary offers breathtaking views, especially from the custom-built lifeguard chairs overlooking the hills and, in the winter, the snow-capped mountains of San Jacinto and Lake Arrowhead. Whether sipping wine at sunset or enjoying the vibrant colors of the “Golden Hour,” this space is designed for ultimate relaxation. Families will appreciate the home’s location within the Fallbrook Union High School District and Fallbrook Union Elementary School District, offering access to excellent educational opportunities. 1247 Firecrest Way is more than just a home—it is a thoughtfully curated retreat offering modern conveniences, stunning outdoor spaces, and a lifestyle of tranquility. With its combination of timeless architecture, sustainable features, and custom enhancements, this exceptional property is a rare gem in one of Fallbrook’s most desirable neighborhoods.
