Welcome to your forever home. This charming single-story residence sits on a sprawling half-acre lot in the heart of southwest Escondido, offering the space, privacy, and lifestyle you've been searching for. With 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and 1,864 square feet of living space, this 1980-built home blends comfortable layout with the ability to make it your own. Step outside to a true entertainer's retreat: a large concrete patio extends from the home and leads directly to your own private pool, perfect for warm Southern California evenings. The generous backyard continues with a charming playhouse, ample space for a garden or additional fruit trees, and direct RV access via a private easement running along the rear of the property — a rare find in this area. Inside, the home is appointed with central air conditioning, dual-pane windows for energy efficiency and quiet comfort, and a striking double-door entry that sets the tone from the moment you arrive. The open kitchen invites easy living and effortless entertaining, while west-facing exposure treats you to stunning sunset views night after night. The attached 2-car garage is a standout in its own right, featuring built-in cabinets and a new epoxy floor for polished, functional storage. Tucked into a peaceful, semi-rural setting, this property still keeps you close to everything Escondido has to offer: quick freeway access and a wealth of nearby shopping and dining, including Trader Joe's, Sprouts, Major Market, Vons, and a variety of beloved local eateries. It's the best of both worlds — the tranquility of country living paired with the convenience of city amenities just minutes away. Homes like this don't come around often. This is a property that truly must be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
