Casa Loma – A Historic Victorian Farmhouse Nestled in the heart of the Old Escondido Historic District, Casa Loma is a stunning 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom Victorian farmhouse built in 1907 by expert carpenter H.H. Christian Witte. Listed on Escondido’s Historic Register, this beautifully renovated home seamlessly blends timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort. Set on an elevated lot, this home showcases Victorian farmhouse influences with intricate verge board detailing, a gabled roof, and front view porch. The home’s original woodwork, historic moldings, and large, light-filled windows highlight the craftsmanship. Soaring ceilings and elegant spaces create a warm and inviting atmosphere, celebrating the artistry of early 20th-century homebuilding. While honoring its historic roots, Casa Loma has been thoughtfully updated for modern living. The spacious, fully renovated kitchen balances vintage appeal with contemporary function, making it ideal for both everyday use and entertaining. Beautifully restored hardwood floors, and carefully curated finishes maintain the home’s authenticity. The home has four bedrooms in total and the primary bedroom offers ample space with a newly expanded closet. The two well-appointed bathrooms blend historic charm with modern convenience. Thoughtfully designed living and dining areas offer a seamless mix of old-world elegance and practicality. The recently re-imagined basement has the charm of an estate sized wine cellar that connects the indoor and outdoor living spaces for the ideal California lifestyle. The gardens have been enhanced with mature olive trees, a three-tier fountain, and two decomposed granite patios. The garden also offers an idyllic setting to meander beneath the mature tangerine and orange trees. Recognized by the Escondido Historic Preservation Committee, Casa Loma remains a cherished landmark with its meticulous preservation and thoughtful updates ensure it continues to be a place of warmth, beauty, and timeless charm. Do not miss the chance to own this incredible piece of Escondido’s history.
