This inviting two-story townhouse is a great fit for first-time buyers who want modern comfort, smart-home features, and a convenient Escondido location. The main level offers a practical layout with a kitchen, dining room, living room, and a half bath, while both bedrooms and the full bath are tucked upstairs for privacy. French doors connect the dining room to a fenced-in patio, creating an easy indoor/outdoor flow that’s perfect for relaxing, grilling, or enjoying time with pets. Two covered parking spaces sit directly behind the unit for quick, convenient access. The home was fully rebuilt in 2010, giving you vinyl windows, central heat and air, and updated systems throughout. The water heater was replaced in 2020, so key infrastructure is already in place. Thoughtful upgrades include a Vivint security system with a doorbell camera, a patio camera, and keypads on both the front door and the French doors. Smart Wi-Fi switches (GE Cync) in the kitchen, living room, and bedrooms add convenient, energy-conscious control, with bedroom switches that respond to light and motion. An under-sink water filter with a dedicated faucet in the kitchen provides great-tasting water right where you need it. The community features a pool and clubhouse, and the HOA covers water, sewer, trash, common-area landscaping, and the roof—helping keep monthly costs predictable. The neighborhood is very dog-friendly, with great neighbors and a welcoming feel. After 15 years of ownership, this well-loved home is ready for its next chapter.
