What if your next home could offer the character you've been searching for-and help offset the cost of owning it? Welcome to this Mills Act historically designated 1922 Craftsman in the heart of Old Historic Escondido, where timeless architecture meets an opportunity for smarter homeownership. In addition to the potential for significant property tax savings through the Mills Act, the property includes a detached 1-bedroom, 1-bath ADU with its own private entrance and dedicated parking-ideal for rental income, extended household living, a private guest space, or home office. The main residence offers 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, filled with the details that make historic homes impossible to replicate: exposed wood beams, beautiful French doors, warm architectural character, and inviting indoor-outdoor living. From the kitchen and primary suite, step onto the spacious wraparound deck surrounded by mature fruit trees and a peaceful koi pond. Whether you're hosting friends, enjoying a quiet morning outside, or simply looking for a home with personality and space to breathe, this property offers something far beyond the typical newer build. A detached two-car garage and 10' x 12' Tuff shed provide additional room for vehicles, storage, hobbies, or gear. If you've been looking for a home that gives you more than just a place to live-historic character, flexible living space, income potential, and meaningful tax advantages-this is the opportunity you've been waiting for.
