Tucked down a private driveway in one of North Escondido's most exclusive mountainous enclaves, this modern ranch single-story home offers a rare sense of serenity and retreat. Massive granite boulders and mature oaks frame the nearly half-acre lot, while rounded soft-stone siding and a wide, sweeping driveway set a warm, welcoming tone from the moment you arrive. Inside, a welcoming foyer opens into a great room that unites the living, dining, and kitchen beneath soaring vaulted ceilings, anchored by a dramatic boulder-stone fireplace with a raised hearth offering both wood-burning and gas options. Integrated surround sound, new LED lighting, and a new contemporary ceiling fan elevate the space, while generous dual-pane windows and doors along with accent glass block windows draw in natural light throughout. Fresh interior paint, new LVP flooring and recently hung crystal chandeliers complete that move-in-ready feel. The recently updated kitchen features a quartz island with dual waterfall edges, a built-in wine fridge, stainless steel appliances, white subway tile backsplash, refaced white cabinetry with glass display cabinets, a pantry closet, and generous storage throughout. The roomy primary suite offers a reading nook, private patio access, a walk-in closet, dual-sink vanity, and an oversized walk-in shower finished in engineered stone. Updated bathrooms and the flexible bedroom spaces are perfectly oriented for office, family, and guest combinations. Outdoors, the three patios and a grand tiered fountain create an entertainer's setting framed by natural stone outcroppings. The backyard offers a beautifully presented rock garden with mature oak trees that enhance the relaxing setting. The oversized 3-car garage features high ceilings, epoxy floors, and full-length attic storage, with the main rollup garage door on a silent Wi-Fi-connected motor. Practical upgrades include whole-house water filtration, a central vacuum system, a newer water heater, a separate laundry room, and an 18-panel solar system on a low monthly lease. Stroll to the community clubhouse, pool, and tennis courts, with Boulder Oaks Golf Course just down the street and a low HOA. Set among multimillion-dollar estates and rolling hills, this one-of-a-kind home is among the most attainable ways into the neighborhood.
