10029 Sage Hill Way, Escondido, CA 92026

Surrounded by views of nature in every direction yet just minutes from everyday conveniences, this spacious home offers room for just about any lifestyle, plus a bonus studio! The thoughtful design places the main living space on the second level, putting those views front and center. A beautiful stone wood-burning fireplace anchors the large living room, which has room to spare for a game table. A separate dining area with wet bar makes hosting easy, and the kitchen's breakfast area opens directly to an elevated rear deck, ideal for morning coffee or dinner outdoors. The upstairs main bedroom has its own bathroom, vanity area and direct deck access. A second upstairs bedroom shares the same elevated outlook and is served by a full bathroom just off the hallway. The flexible layout is what sets this home apart. A downstairs bedroom with its own bathroom opens to a private ground-level patio, a great setup for guests, a home office or anyone wanting their own space. Off that patio, a separate entrance leads to the bonus studio with its own bathroom and kitchenette. Use it for visitors, work, hobbies, fitness or creative pursuits (studio was built over 20 years ago and is not reflected in the official square footage or floor plan; see agent notes). Storage is everywhere: built-in living room shelving, a separate laundry room with extra storage, a full 2-car garage with workbench, shelving and cabinetry, and an unfinished storage room off the garage. HOA dues are just $475 per year (billed annually) and include beautifully maintained amenities less than a minute's drive away: an Olympic-style swimming pool (with pool monitor during the summer season), pickleball courts, and a clubhouse available to rent for special events. A couple of minutes farther, you'll find local favorites for beer, wine, pizza, coffee and deli fare, plus a golf course. Central Escondido, with nearly every major retailer and plenty of restaurants, is only 10 to 15 minutes away. The home is ready to enjoy from day one, with updates over the years including a newer water heater and composite decking. However, some repair, upgrade, and reimagining opportunities do remain for the next owner to shape in their own style. Come experience it for yourself!
