544 S Juniper St Escondido, CA 92025

Super Charming Turn Of The Century California Bungalow nestled in the heart of the Historic District of Old Escondido, this charming and distinctive home beautifully blends timeless character with thoughtful expansion. Original hardwood floors run throughout the initial residence, setting the stage for classic details like a formal dining room with a built-in hutch and not one, but two separate living rooms-an ideal layout for multi-generational living, working from home, or simply spreading out in comfort. The oversized kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring a sunny breakfast nook, an abundance of cabinetry, a vintage stove and oven paired with modern convenience from a dishwasher, and a layout designed for gathering. In 1990, a substantial 1,332-square-foot addition transformed the home, adding a spacious living area, a relocated and expanded kitchen, a one-car garage, and a private 575-square-foot loft with a full bathroom-perfect as a guest suite, creative space, or private retreat. Outdoors, a portion of the yard is fenced for added usability, while practical updates provide peace of mind, including a newer roof (2015), heating and air conditioning (2005), and a recently replaced water heater (2022). This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Old Escondido history with space, flexibility, and enduring appeal.
