Gorgeous 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom Craftsman in Escondido's highly walkable historic district. This 1605 square foot 1920s bungalow in a peaceful neighborhood has been thoughtfully redesigned with attention to detail and timeless finishes throughout, in addition to being brought up to current building code with virtually all new plumbing/new water heater, new ducting for the central air and heat, and passing city inspections for all plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems. The curb appeal is immediately evident upon arrival, with concrete pavers leading through the front lawn to a traditional wood railing porch, wooden porch swing, and solid oak front door. Upon entering the house you're met with a large living room with a beautiful cased 6 foot arch transitioning into the dining and kitchen. French doors beyond the dining room offer a direct line of sight into the backyard and an ideal indoor/outdoor living layout. Craftsman casing and headers adorn all doors and windows, with white oak engineered hardwood floors, crown moulding, freshly painted walls/trim, and recessed lighting completing the ensemble. The U-shaped kitchen is outfitted with white shaker cabinets, brushed gold hardware and fixtures, white oak floating shelves, elegant lighting, Calacatta quartz countertops, and a pot-filler faucet underneath a custom vent hood. A brand new gas oven is ready for years of use, and the brand new panel dishwasher blends seamlessly into the cabinets. Both bathrooms feature free-standing marble-topped vanities, bathtubs with showerheads, and distinct tiling for bathtub surrounds and flooring. A pocket door laundry closet is plumbed and wired for a stacked washer/dryer. All four bedrooms provide ample closet space — a rare feature for a Craftsman home — while a pull-down ladder opens up a full-height attic for abundant storage space. Generous placement of additional windows throughout the bedrooms brings all-day natural light to the home, with the master bedroom's sliding glass door also providing a direct path to the backyard. The immaculately landscaped property is ready for afternoons spent outside, the entire exterior has been freshly painted, and custom low voltage landscape lighting comes on at dusk. The sprinkler system and drip irrigation for the lawn and drought-tolerant plantings will keep the grounds looking amazing, mature ornamental pear trees and liquid ambers provide ample shade in the front and backyard, and the brand new horizontal slat cedar fence is weather-sealed and outfitted with a rolling steel-framed gate in the back for alley access. A 20'x20' covered wooden pergola provides a second backyard patio space and a relaxing spot for outdoor entertaining, and can alternatively function as a two-car covered parking pad if desired. The adjacent bonfire area with included low-smoke fire pit and chairs is the perfect location to gather with friends in the evenings. And that's just the house! Such a good neighborhood within short walking distance to Downtown Escondido's lively Grand Avenue for coffee and restaurants, two blocks from the Escondido Public Library and Central Elementary School, four blocks from the Tuesday Farmer's Market and the beloved Cruisin' Grand on Friday nights every May-October, and five blocks from Classical Academy High School. Just a few reasons this is one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Escondido while listing at more affordable prices than surrounding communities. Don't delay seeing this one!
