Just south of downtown Escondido, this 1961 three-bedroom, two-bath home retains its original early-’60s character while incorporating thoughtful contemporary updates. An extensively remodeled kitchen features walnut cabinetry, terrazzo tile flooring, Café appliances and updated fixtures and surfaces. Adjoining dining and living areas offer vaulted wood-plank ceilings, abundant natural light and an easy connection to outdoor spaces. A renovated primary bath complements the home’s midcentury design, while the bedrooms provide flexible space for family, guests, work or hobbies. Set on a generous 0.29-acre parcel, the property offers expansive front and rear yards with mature landscaping, a productive edible garden, irrigated raised beds, grapevines and fruit trees, plus multiple spaces for dining, entertaining and relaxing. An attached two-car garage and covered rear patio add useful space. Conveniently located minutes from downtown Escondido, shopping, dining, schools, services and major transportation routes. The established garden is designed to be both beautiful and genuinely productive. Irrigated, gopher-proof raised beds support vegetables and herbs, while established grapevines and an impressive collection of producing fruit trees and shrubs include Cara Cara oranges, Mexican limes, lemons, Buddha’s hand citron, peaches, nectarines, olives, goji berries and feijoa/pineapple guavas. Mature plantings throughout the property provide shade and privacy and create distinct outdoor areas for gardening, dining, entertaining and quiet relaxation. Additional modern conveniences include a smart thermostat and smart irrigation controls, making it easy to manage the home and grounds. The property’s combination of usable outdoor space, established food-producing landscape and thoughtful updates makes it especially well suited for buyers who value both indoor comfort and an outdoor space meant to be lived in.
