“Old School Escondido Lot, Deep, Private, Pool, Character, Solar.” They do not make lots like this anymore. The picturesque approach from the street begins with a white picket fence, defined front yard, driveway, and attached garage welcoming you home. All of it is framed by a stunning mature California pepper tree that provides generous shade, privacy, and the perfect spot for a classic front yard swing. Inside, the kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with hardwood flooring throughout, distinctive concrete countertops, updated cabinetry, a copper sink, and an entertaining bar that makes cooking feel like part of the gathering. Both bathrooms have been custom remodeled, each with its own unique design. The hall bath features a soaking jetted tub, offering a comfortable space to unwind at the end of the day. The backyard is the true differentiator. Long, private, and open, with no neighbors directly behind you. A covered elevated porch flows from double French doors off the kitchen and dining area, creating an easy indoor-outdoor connection. A perfectly sized pool anchors the hardscape, while a gazebo overlooks the second half of the yard, open, grassy, and ready for future possibilities. Mature citrus trees, olive bushes, and established landscaping complete the setting. *** WHAT WE LOVE: (CONT…) 1133 W. 13th Avenue blends preserved character with meaningful updates in a quiet residential pocket of Escondido.
