Description

Rare 1/2 acre property with a permitted attached 1-bedroom ADU. This remodeled 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath midcentury home features two distinct living spaces: a 4-bedroom main residence with a recently remodeled 2025 chef's kitchen, plus a private-entry Junior ADU completed in 2023 for flexible multigenerational living and proven seller rental use. At the heart of the main home is a newly remodeled chef's kitchen with light oak cabinetry, cream quartz waterfall countertops, a seafoam ceramic tile backsplash, premium appliances, and an induction range. An expansive peninsula with wine storage and seating anchors the open-concept layout, flowing into the dining and living spaces for everyday living and entertaining. Completed in 2023, the permitted attached ADU functions as a true second living space. With its own private entrance and patio, it features a full kitchen with induction range and quartz countertops, a bedroom with direct outdoor access, a spa-style bath with teak and marble finishes, and a full-size LG WashTower. Ideal as separate living quarters, a private guest suite, casita-style space, or furnished mid-term rental, the ADU has been successfully used by the seller for 30+ day stays, with documented rental history available for buyer review. Future rental use, income, permits, and regulations to be verified by buyer. Step outside to a resort-style backyard with east-facing mountain views, a pool, and multiple areas for dining, relaxing, and entertaining. Mature fruit and nut trees and lush landscaping create a rare sense of privacy. The half-acre lot also offers potential for an additional ADU, further expanding long-term value and versatility. Buyer to verify. The single-story main residence blends midcentury character with thoughtful modern updates. Water-resistant wood-based laminate flooring adds warmth and durability, while the formal living room features built-in shelving and a classic brick fireplace. The adjacent great room captures natural light and opens to the backyard through sliding glass doors, creating an easy indoor-outdoor connection. Additional highlights include a dedicated laundry room with butcher block herringbone counters, a stylish powder room with teak vanity and Carrara marble top, leased solar, city water and sewer, and a location minutes from historic downtown Escondido, North County wine country, hiking trails, and major freeways. Five bedrooms. Two distinct living spaces. One extraordinary property.
