About This Home

As of March 2026

Welcome to 1454 Romance Road in Escondido—a home where care and upgrades shine in every detail. Sitting on 1.36 acres of mostly flat, usable land, this property invites endless possibilities: add an ADU, create a horse setup, build a sports court, expand gardens, or simply enjoy the open space. A separate gated driveway provides easy access for projects, RV parking, or future structures. Inside, natural light fills the south-facing living room, and the private primary suite offers privacy and calm and includes a walk-in closet. With three bedrooms, two baths, and a finished 310 sq ft office with power and wall A/C, the layout is practical and adaptable. Outdoors is where this home truly shines! A large pool and spa overlook beautiful hills, with a wraparound deck perfect for relaxing or entertaining. An added full outdoor kitchen—featuring a wood-fire pizza oven, grill, fridge, and sink—makes gatherings effortless! This home has been meticulously maintained and upgraded. 39 owned solar panels, new A/C, new spa heater, pool pump, refreshed pool deck, new stucco, new toilets, fresh paint, and a custom kitchen island. Landscaping was redone with irrigation, fruit trees, natives, and low-water plants. A redwood/hog panel fence encloses the home, office, lawn, and garden. Electrical updates include a 240v EV/RV outlet, new fixtures, and upgraded lighting. Even drainage and the garage door opener were thoughtfully improved. 1454 Romance Road offers luxury and the rare kind of space that invites both relaxation and potential—and a dash of fun with your own garage skatepark!
