About This Home

Stunning midcentury masterpiece, thoughtfully designed and set on a 1/2 acre lot with sweeping east-facing views. California indoor-outdoor living at its finest with this remodeled 5-bedroom, 3.5 bath estate. The main home features 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a pool—and there’s nothing “junior” about the attached Junior ADU, a 1-bedroom/1-bathroom unit with a separate entrance and a full kitchen, offering the ultimate in flexible multi-generational living or potential for passive income. At the heart of this home is a chef's kitchen that will stop you in your tracks. Light oak cabinetry, cream-color quartz countertops with a waterfall edge, and a dramatic seafoam blue ceramic tile backsplash set the stage, while premium appliances—including an induction range—make cooking a genuine pleasure. An expansive peninsula with wine storage and barstools anchors the open-concept space, flowing naturally into the dining area and family room, an effortless setting for everything from casual mornings to memorable dinner parties. The Junior ADU (JADU) is nothing short of exceptional, from its rich mahogany pocket doors to its private patio and a complement of full-size appliances. Thoughtfully designed to maximize the space, this relaxing retreat offers its own full kitchen that includes an induction range and quartz countertops; a grasscloth-accented bedroom that opens to a private, gated patio; and an elegantly arranged bathroom with teak and marble accents, a huge spa-style shower, and a full-size LG WashTower wash/dryer.

  • SupplementRemarks: The JADU has earned a coveted spot in the Top 1% of Airbnb listings, having attained “Guest Favorite” status and consistently maintaining an impressive occupancy rate—a testament to its quality, design and guest appeal. Whether you continue to use it as a high-performing Airbnb mid-term rental, transition to a long-term tenant, or welcome extended family, the income potential here is as impressive as the space itself. Meander outside and discover a backyard with mountain views that rivals any resort. The lushly landscaped area surrounding the pool and patio offers a rare sense of seclusion, perfect for afternoon swims, al fresco dining, and unforgettable evenings under the Southern California sky. Mature fruit and nut trees create a setting that is as beautiful as it is functional. With a half-acre lot providing ample space, there is exciting potential to add a second ADU, further maximizing long-term value and versatility in one of California's most in-demand housing markets. A single-story layout spanning four bedrooms and 2.5 baths, the main residence blends midcentury charm with a mix of original vintage character and modern updates at every turn. Water-resistant wood-based laminate flooring throughout offers warmth and beauty plus everyday durability. The formal living room welcomes you with built-in bookshelves and a classic brick fireplace. The adjacent great room features east-facing mountain views and sliding glass doors that keep the interior light and bright and connect to the pool area and landscape beyond. A dedicated laundry room/butler’s pantry with butcher block herringbone counter and exposed brick adds convenience with character. An adjacent powder room—on the other side of a mahogany pocket door—features a solid teakwood vanity with Carrara marble top, and retro tile flooring. Leased solar keeps energy costs in check, city water and sewer lines add convenience, and the prime Escondido location puts you minutes from the charm of historic downtown, North County's wine country, scenic hiking trails, and easy freeway access to the greater San Diego metro area. Five bedrooms total. Two distinct living spaces. One extraordinary property.
