CALL FOR OFFERS! ALL OFFERS DUE 11/25 5PM. This romantic Queen Anne Victorian feels like stepping into another era. A towering, ancient pine crowns the oversized lot — inspiring the City of Escondido to lovingly nickname the property “The Little House in the Woods.” Built in 1890 and designated as a registered historic home, this property is currently under the Mills Act for significant property tax savings. Original sash windows, plaster-and-lath walls, and natural boulder outcroppings in the rear yard add timeless character and texture. Truly unlike anything else — this one-of-a-kind Victorian cottage could be the beginning of your own storybook chapter.
