About This Home
Discover this beautifully upgraded end-unit condo that lives like a detached home, set within a fully gated boutique community in the heart of Escondido. Thoughtfully remodeled throughout, this residence offers modern comfort, stylish finishes, and effortless living. Step inside to a bright, open layout featuring two spacious bedrooms—each with its own en-suite bath—plus a convenient half bath on the main level. The primary suite is a true retreat with newer plank vinyl flooring, a walk-in closet, and a brand-new 6-blade ceiling fan with remote LED lighting. The stunning primary bath showcases a custom walk-in tile shower, dual new vanities with quartz countertops, updated sinks, faucets, mirrors, lighting, and a new toilet. The secondary bedroom also impresses with stunning easterly panoramic views, a newer ceiling fan, mirrored closet doors, and a refreshed en-suite bath featuring a new vanity with quartz countertop, updated fixtures, lighting, and a new toilet. The inviting living room offers rich wood flooring and a cozy fireplace with a new mantle. The upgraded kitchen shines with granite countertops, shiplap backsplash, recessed lighting, stainless steel appliances—including a new range and microwave—plus a new reverse osmosis system. Just off the kitchen, you’ll find the indoor laundry area and a stylish half bath. Additional features include central heating and air, newer hot water heater, recent whole-house repipe, laundry room with full-size, side-by-side washer and dryer and fresh interior paint throughout. Enjoy two spacious outdoor spaces: a patio off the dining room with easy access to the sparkling community pool, and a large upstairs balcony off the primary suite—perfect for morning coffee and a book. Two gated, assigned parking garage parking spaces complete the package. Located close to premier shopping, dining, and entertainment, this well-maintained community offers peace of mind with an HOA that covers water, trash, roof, and common-area maintenance. Relax by the pool or unwind in the shared rooftop view area—this is Escondido living at its best.
