From the Agent: "This Queen Anne estate is nestled in the heart of the Old Escondido Historic District. Built in 1896, it has been masterfully restored to its immaculate glory, boasting an original staircase and trim in mahogany, oak flooring, and original windows. There’s no shortage of natural light. No detail was overlooked, with each fixture and finish being period appropriate; many come from all over the world including the personal homes of iconic historians and figures such as Ulysses S. Grant and Wyatt Earp. This award wining home has been updated with modern electrical, plumbing, and solar. This half-acre fully gated estate is the largest lot in the district. It is on the National Register of Historic Places and is contracted under the Mills Act. The Mills Act reduces property taxes by as much as 70 percent. Don’t miss your opportunity to own this famed piece of history!"
Sitting atop a small hill, the property features an original stairway, complete with a gate and ornamentation.
