Property Description
The Alfred H. Beach House – A Queen Anne Victorian Masterpiece Step into a living piece of history with the Alfred H. Beach House, Escondido’s most iconic Queen Anne Victorian estate. Built in 1896 and meticulously restored, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom residence offers 3,067 sq ft of elegant living on a beautifully landscaped corner lot in the Old Escondido Historic District. Designated on the National Register of Historic Places and under the Mills Act, this landmark property offers significant property tax savings. Rich in original detail, the home features hand-carved woodwork, stained-glass windows, period appropriate chandeliers, and an extensive collection of Bradbury & Bradbury hand-printed wallpaper—the largest known in a private residence nationwide.
