252 La Serena Loop is an exceptional waterfront estate in the exclusive gated community of Escondido, masterfully designed for luxurious living and effortless entertaining. Tucked along a peaceful canal on constant-level Lake LBJ, this home welcomes guests through graceful arched entryways into a serene courtyard anchored by a beautiful fountain. Inside, timeless craftsmanship shines – from barrel-vaulted brick ceilings to stately stone columns to elegant arched windows that fill the home with soft natural light. The open living area impresses with 22-foot beamed ceilings, clerestory windows, and a grand stone fireplace, while two open-corner sliding doors lead to a deep-set covered patio featuring discreet flush-mount heaters designed for year-round comfort, plus an outdoor kitchen overlooking the pool and spa, a putting green, pergola, and outdoor fireplace. The residence offers five bedrooms, five full baths, and two half baths, including a main-level primary suite, two upper guest suites, and two private casitas. The kitchen and primary bath were fully remodeled in 2021 and now feature quartz countertops, modern custom cabinetry, and refined finishes. A lower-level game room with a full bar and temperature-controlled wine cellar enhances the home’s social appeal, and a covered boat dock with dual PWC lifts ensures seamless lake enjoyment. (Boat in slip available) This remarkable estate invites you to experience Escondido and Lake LBJ at their most luxurious and unforgettable.
