Full of warmth and character, this single-level 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home sits on nearly an acre in the sought-after Lake Hodges area of Escondido. Original 60's charm meets thoughtful updates throughout, from newer LVP flooring to a freshly painted exterior and interior.  The inviting family room features exposed wood beams, wood paneling, and a classic brick fireplace , while the adjacent living room offers even more space to gather.   Tucked away on a quiet street, this is the kind of home where mornings start slow and evenings linger outdoors. The primary suite includes a walk-in shower and abundant closet space, and a second bedroom offers a private ensuite with walk-in shower. Enjoy the ease of owned solar and a newer roof, offering true peace of mind for years to come. Step outside to mature navel orange and tangerine trees create a peaceful retreat, while the expansive lot offers room for RV parking and exciting potential for an ADU or generational living. A two car garage with built-in cabinetry and a circular driveway complete the picture.   With no HOA, this one-of-a-kind property offers space, flexibility, and endless possibility. Zoned for Bernardo Elementary, Bear Valley Middle, and San Pasqual High School, and just minutes from shopping, dining, and I-15, this is a rare opportunity to make this wonderful property your own.
