This one-of-a-kind rustic-modern charmer is available Sept 12. It is a stand alone house, not an apartment. Located in Old Escondido, just 5 blocks from downtown, this historic gem is anything but cookie-cutter. The interior has been thoughtfully remodeled while the exterior retains its funky, traditional character because the home is on the historic register.
