About This Home
As of May 2025Casa Loma – A Historic Victorian Farmhouse Nestled in the heart of the Old Escondido Historic District, Casa Loma is a stunning 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom Victorian farmhouse built in 1907 by expert carpenter H.H.

Set on an elevated lot, this home showcases Victorian farmhouse influences with intricate verge board detailing, a gabled roof, and front view porch.

The home has four bedrooms in total and the primary bedroom offers ample space with a newly expanded closet. The two well-appointed bathrooms blend historic charm with modern convenience. Thoughtfully designed living and dining areas offer a seamless mix of old-world elegance and practicality. The recently re-imagined basement has the charm of an estate sized wine cellar that connects the indoor and outdoor living spaces for the ideal California lifestyle. The gardens have been enhanced with mature olive trees, a three-tier fountain, and two decomposed granite patios. The garden also is an idyllic setting to meander beneath the mature tangerine and orange trees. Recognized by the Escondido Historic Preservation Committee, Casa Loma remains a cherished landmark with its meticulous preservation and thoughtful updates ensure it continues to be a place of warmth, beauty, and timeless charm.
