Must see to appreciate this rare blend of country charm and city convenience! Enjoy sweeping Palomar Mountain views from this one-of-a-kind, peaceful home in a little-known corner of Valley Center just 3 miles up the hill from Escondido. This fully upgraded home sits on a quiet cul-de-sac off a beautiful oak tree-lined street in a welcoming neighborhood. On just over an acre of land with mature oak trees, along with pine and eucalyptus, the home feels like a retreat. Inside, the well-designed floor plan offers 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, solid hardwood floors, an open-concept living area with island seating for 5, and expansive windows and doors that seamlessly connect you to the outdoors. The oversized primary suite features its own patio and private entrance—perfect for a separate living space or guest quarters. One additional bedroom also has an ensuite bath and sliding door to the patio, ideal for visitors. Paid solar covers nearly all electricity costs for this fully electric home. The backyard is built for entertaining, with a pergola-covered built-in gas grill, 6-person bar seating, a second pergola-shaded dining area, and a cozy fire pit—all set against those incredible views. Car enthusiasts and hobbyists will appreciate two 2-car garages—one attached and one detached. The attached garage offers a storage closet, laundry space, and utility sink. Additional highlights include a new roof, new windows, durable concrete siding, a brand-new concrete driveway, drought-tolerant landscaping, a large paved RV parking area with electrical hookup, and a freshly painted 200 sq ft Tuff Shed. This unique property is move-in ready and offers a lifestyle rarely found in the area—don’t miss it!
