This Queen Anne Victorian estate has stood proudly for over a century, lovingly cared for and thoughtfully enhanced by stewards who honored its past while preparing it for the future.

The property has been featured in magazines, walking tours, and historic registers, solidifying its reputation as one of Escondido’s most iconic homes. Inside, every corner tells a story. From the restored vintage chandeliers to the inlaid hardwood floors and intricate crown molding, the home strikes the perfect balance between period authenticity and modern-day comfort. The thoughtful preservation includes: • Over 100 hand-printed wallpaper panels from Bradbury & Bradbury, an artisan studio known for museum-quality historical reproductions. • Stained and leaded glass windows, many original, offering soft natural light and color throughout the day. • A formal double parlor with pocket doors—ideal for entertaining or simply basking in the quiet charm of the era. The chef’s kitchen is a rare find in a historic home. Centered around a stunning La Cornue range, it also features custom cabinetry, Carrara marble countertops, a farmhouse sink, and high-end appliances that honor the home's style while serving modern functionality. Upstairs, you’ll find four generous bedrooms—including a turret room that feels like a page out of a storybook—and a charming blend of antique and updated bathrooms with classic clawfoot tubs and pedestal sinks. The landscaped half-acre lot is a true sanctuary. Wander the stone pathways through manicured gardens, enjoy tea beneath the award-winning Swiss Victorian gazebo, or listen to the tranquil sounds of the Italian-imported fountain. The detached garage, styled to match the home, offers bonus space for a workshop, art studio, or additional storage. Key property benefits: • Mills Act designation = substantial tax savings • National Register of Historic Places listing = long-term value and prestige • Impeccably maintained with recent upgrades, including roofing, paint, and HVAC • Period-style details including Eastlake hardware, push-button light switches, and vintage light fixtures Location is equally ideal—just a few blocks from the vibrant Grand Avenue District where you’ll find coffee shops, restaurants, weekly farmers markets, and live music events.
