Spanning approximately 1,080 square feet and complemented by a private two-car garage, the home combines efficient use of space with thoughtful improvements that support everyday comfort and long-term ownership value. Vaulted ceilings establish a sense of openness throughout the main living areas, while natural light enhances the home's welcoming interior.

Additional infrastructure improvements include a new gas water heater installed in 2025, all-new HVAC ductwork, air sealing measures, upgraded attic insulation, HVAC surge protection, and a UV treatment component designed to support indoor air quality. The attic was professionally cleared and mitigated prior to insulation installation, reflecting the comprehensive nature of the home's maintenance history. Water quality receives equal attention through a RainSoft whole-house water softening and reverse osmosis system connected at the meter, allowing softened water throughout the residence. A dedicated filtered drinking-water station at the kitchen sink provides an additional layer of convenience. The attached two-car garage has been enhanced with an epoxy flake floor finish along with a new garage door motor, belt system, sensors, controls, and remotes. Additional exterior improvements include a new front patio gate and a custom enclosure around the HVAC condenser. Beyond the home itself, the location supports an appealing North County lifestyle. Nearby amenities include Carol Lee Park, the community pool, Blue Mug Coffee, and Cenote Grill. Dixon Lake and Daley Ranch provide opportunities for hiking, fishing, mountain biking, and outdoor recreation, while the Highland Valley wine region offers local tasting experiences just a short drive away. Downtown Escondido and Grand Avenue are minutes from the property and feature destinations including Mesa Agrícola, Bellamy's, Vintana Wine + Dine, Craft & Taco Lounge, The Brigantine, Four Tunas Fish & Bar, and the California Center for the Arts. Seasonal events such as Cruisin' Grand contribute to the area's vibrant atmosphere.
