Every corner of this Victorian-style home is a work of art. realestate
sits on a half-acre corner lot in Escondido. And while its size isn’t necessarily anything to gawk at, the details make the property truly shine. Built in 1896 out of 125-year-old redwood, the Victorian retains its original floors of quarter-sawn oak. The living room features an original cove ceiling, along with a fireplace and period-correct mantel. Throughout, original pocket doors, baseboards, and trim are made of Philippine mahogany.
Of course, there’s also that wallpaper: hand-printed Bradbury & Bradbury roomsets, or combinations of patterns that cover the walls and the ceilings. Lisa Bauer, one of Bradbury & Bradbury’s owners, toldthat the roomsets are either reproductions of original papers or inspired by those from the Victorian era. In the living room, there are 26 patterns alone. Only the kitchen and a downstairs bathroom are excluded from the wallpaper party.
Back in 1993, the estate was added to the National Register of Historic Places, and throughout its history it’s been the home of inventors, philanthropists, and art collectors. It’s no wonder, then, that it’s basically ended up being a livable museum.
