Custom-built home on 1-acre lot offers beautifully mature Native Live Oak trees and peaceful surroundings. Influenced by Midcentury Modern split level architecture highlighted in Sunset Magazine (February 1970, page 78), this 1976 home was envisioned and conceived by local entrepreneur Marion Lee Calvert, whose company was most notable for building Pala Mesa Golf Resort and Temecula Creek as well as subdivisions in Hemet, Oceanside, and Carlsbad. The double door front entrance leads onto the main floor foyer, living room/dining room, family room with hearth and white brick fireplace, kitchen, and half bath. The glass slider leads onto the back patio and vast yard. Inside, the vaulted ceiling of the main living area make the perfect canvas for the smooth, solid pine tongue and grove wooden planks that are embellished with open beams. This design adds notes of character into this personal space. A short set of 6 stairs lead to the primary bedroom with en suite, 2 secondary bedrooms, and a full bath. Seven additional steps lead to a spacious, 20-foot catwalk/loft that connects directly to an expansive additional living area. This extra space gives families a bonus room that can accommodate multiple purposes. Separate from the main living areas, it offers private space for a home office, rec room, and more. Plumbed for running water, it also features two skylights, a sliding glass door, a wrap-around balcony, and a substantial, walk-in, fully finished storage space. This custom-built home was designed to maximize as much of the 2288 sq. ft., floor space as possible while creating both communal and private rooms. Each empty nook makes room for a closet, book shelf, or other functional space. Outside of the home is a two-car, detached garage. The property also offers a 40’ x 14’ drive-through RV shelter. Its 13’ height can accommodate even the largest RV. Since split-level houses are making a solid comeback in the housing architectural world with new designs and modifications, don’t miss this opportunity to redesign this original home—never before modified-- into your own unique oasis. Split-level homes offer comfort and convenience. With minimal stairs on a daily basis, this design is appreciated by retirees and families. Builder Gerald (Jerry) Adler of Fallbrook
