Mountain views await you at 320 James Street in Escondido's desirable East Grove neighborhood - a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully updated, move-in-ready home with timeless charm and modern upgrades. This is not a flip, but a lovingly improved residence offering 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an inviting floor plan enhanced by open-beam ceilings and abundant natural light. Step outside to discover an expansive wraparound yard designed for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment, featuring a gated pool, covered patio, and plenty of space for play, gardening, or gathering with family and friends. Recent improvements include solar added (fully owned), central air, beautifully remodeled kitchen, luxury vinyl plank flooring, remodeled bathrooms, a newer roof (approximately 2 years old), and numerous additional upgrades throughout. Situated on a spacious corner lot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the property offers extra off-street parking and added privacy. Enjoy the convenience of being just a short five-minute walk to Orange Glen Elementary School, with parks, trails, and outdoor recreation nearby. With no HOA, no Mello-Roos, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living, this East Grove gem is ready to welcome you home.
