One of Escondido's Finest Residential Locations...
This one is sold... but we have others.... See Terri and Paul Guess
Wow is this a treasure. We have not seen many homes like this on the market in a couple of years now. The reason.... People that take this kind of pride in their home do not treat it like an ATM. They are not upside down and sticking the bank with the problem. This is a real equity seller... that bought this beautiful home several years ago... then set out to make it perfect. Now that they are done with project... they want to move out of the area... and we have the Perfect Storm for some lucky home buyer. The address of incredible opportunity: 648 Clarence Lane, Escondido, CA 92029. This was a custom home palace in 1958 when it was built. Today it is even better. The first thing you will notice in this crisp photo... is the crisp subject. New Roof... New Skylights... New Doors... New Windows... New Plumbing... New Electrical... New Mechanical... Raised Foundation... Gorgeous Hardwood Floors.... Gutters... Downspouts... New Gourmet Kitchen... New Bathrooms... and all of this on a private... securely fenced and gated 1/3 Acre compound.... just across the street from wonderful Felicita Park. The old adage of Location .... Location ... Location ... has never been better demonstrated.

The first picture here... from the corner... I would call... "Where is the house".... the second photo... I would call "21st Century" not allowed. Step back in time... step back in quality of life... step back in quality of construction... and in this instance.... stepping backward is getting much more. The landscape is designed for low maintenance and usage of less water. The look is green... the footprint is green... but... it doesn't cost a lot of green. The current owners want to move out of area... and this is a great time to buy... so they have decided that the cost of selling in this market... is an acceptable cost of reaching their goal sooner than later. Whether you are a seasoned home buyer... or a first time home buyer... what your are going to see here... is special. It would be special and demand a much larger price in a different market... but here it is.... special... and priced to sell in the best buyers market we have ever seen. Shopping with buyers the last couple of years... we see... dirty... broken... shop worn... sad... and depressing homes that speak of all the problems in the world today. Here is a home you should see... just to cheer you up. It is spotless... everything works... It is better than new... and it is an incredibly happy space. If you can visit this home and not smile... you have a much larger problem than not finding the home you want. The value of the experience.... Priceless!
We call this a compound.... where access is controlled... where what you see is not simple.... there is more to the eye than at first glance. The current owner is a Classic Car Collector... and wanted space to keep all the toys at home... and to work on them at his leisure. The attached original two car garage... like all garages in the 50's.... is a "Man Cave"... tons of storage... 220V for the mandatory compressor. Next came the "Barn".... with extension... became the "Woody Garage"... and while way over engineered... and totally functional... was not added as a garage with permits. More toys... more covered parking needed... so the Carport was added. Keep in mind this is all behind secure fencing and a Gate... so the sun shade of a carport fits the bill. But if RV's... toys... Jet Skis... Dune Buggies... Motorcycles... any of that sort are in your life... you need covered storage for tools... big tools... and parts... and stuff. If you lean close to the screen... you can smell the Testosterone. Just like with his Classic Cars the owner is a perfectionist... he is just as much a perfectionist with his home... and it shows... everywhere.
Ok... so you've seen the toy space... and all. This is really about a classic custom home... built to better standards than construction today... and lovingly brought to the 21st Century for amenities... without any sacrifice of charm... personality... character... function... or Casual Elegance. Imagine "Leave it to Beaver" met "Martha Stewart".... because this is a fun home! If you are looking for a red tile roof... a cookie cutter tract home... you are on the wrong web page. Got Passion? ... Love old movies? ... Remember when homes were warm in the Winter... Cool in the Summer? ... Like a good nap? ... Wonder if "No Country for Old Men" is all we are left with? Well here is what you need... a home that just oozes what this nation is losing... the idea that a home ... is a home. It is your escape... it is your castle... when you walk in the door... your blood pressure should go down.... and... if you visit this home... even just to see it... that will be your experience. Calming... Soothing... Cozy... in all Seasons.
Two views of the same space.... one with a peek of the wonderful... NEW... Kitchen... and the other ... toward the French Door Access to Weather Paradise and the gardens. Both of these views share a couple of things though.. it is a warmth of color... and texture... and a coolness of Decorator Ceiling fans... and real cross ventilation... for a totally cool lifestyle. This is a dining room that was designed for the 50's. Your family gathered around this table... gave thanks for everything in their life... ate... and talked. The cool breeze came in from the French Doors... it would have been darker... as the skylights are added. Wintertime... a fire might have crackled in the corner masonry fireplace... and the wide screen TV there... picture 14" semi round... FADA Black and White TV... and most of the hours... a test pattern. So now you can have it all.... the escape... but without giving up the Internet... email... Facebook... Twitter... and on the Wide Screen.... you can watch Re-Runs of "Leave it to Beaver".
