Delighted to introduce The Haver House, a cherished and registered historic home located in the Old Escondido Historic District. The home was built in the late 1970s by the influential Phoenix architect Ralph Haver, who was renowned for his innovative mid-century modern designs. Havers architectural style emphasized clean lines, open floor plans, and integration with nature, all apparent in this 1888 square foot, 3 bedroom / 2 bath masterpiece. He engineered the home to conform to the existing contours of the hill and the boulders that are on site, a tell-tale Haver-Home! Mr. Haver designed and built over 20,000 homes in his career, predominantly in Arizona, yet he was so taken with the incredible view at this site in Escondido that he built the home for himself and retired here. No doubt the walkability to downtown stores, restaurants, coffee shops, breweries and wine tasting add to the urban feel and ideal location. Subsequent owners included an elegant iron gate for privacy, which was a wonderful addition to the property, and the current (and future) owners benefit from an approximate 60% reduction in their property taxes by registering for The Mills Act. Walk out on any of the four view decks and you will be astounded by the panoramic views and the absolute seclusion. Enjoy the sunrise and sunset or gather around the fire pit or the cocktail (or mocktail) pool with friends and family. The primary suite is perfectly positioned with its own view deck to enjoy a quiet time of reflection while looking out on the lush and varied garden below. Considerable effort and resources have been invested in the garden with its meandering paths and an array of diverse plant life, and it is one of the stunning features not to be missed! Patios in several different areas are perfect for dining or that morning cup of coffee, or read a book while relaxing in one of the two macrame swings on the property. There is even a sauna in the primary bedroom, a workshop under the home, and a tire swing and horseshoe pits for play, too! If your ideal home embodies privacy, stunning views, lush gardens, and a perfect space for entertaining, then The Haver House is tailor-made for you!
