May 21st, 2008 Categories: Brookside Escondido, Escondido
Here we go again, we just took another listing in the gorgeous gated community of Brookside, and once again we have an incredible value for you!
This home at 448 Adelaide Glen is one of the finest homes built in this development. A plan 6, (the largest model in Brookside) is a 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath home on a huge lot of 18,200 feet!
This fabulous homes, set on the back side of a very private cul-de-sac, is situated with a south facing view, with extensive professional landscaping and built for a big family.
Brookside is a gated community adjacent to Reidy Creek Golf Course in North Escondido. Schools are close, with near brand new Reidy Creek Elementary just a couple of blocks up Broadway.
This original owner did extensive work on professional hardscape both in front and in back, and succeeded in creating a truly beautiful home worthy of a very discriminating buyer!
As you enter the home through the turret entry, you’ll find oversized 20″ tile throughout the downstairs areas. A gorgeous chef’s kitchen with beautiful cabinetry and granite countertops will please and excite 
your culinary skills. A giant island complete with storage and bookshelves along with double ovens, microwave and five burner cooktop. A nice long and functional butler’s pantry is adjacent.
As you wander to the family room, you’ll see the large custom cabinetry that houses the media niche and big screen tv. A patio door will take you out to the friendly and serene center courtyard, to enjoy a glass of wine or to read a book.
A formal living room creates another experience as does the large formal dining room. This home will handle a large group for any occasion.
There’s one large bedroom downstairs, with its own full bath and lots of privacy. A three car tandem garage and large laundry room complete the downstairs
The house seems to go on forever, as you travel upstairs. It’s actually a little over 3600 square feet!
The master is huge…giant…big! I’m running out of adjectives. A very large room with the master bath suite is truly impressive. His and her sinks, large soaking tub and separate shower with beautiful tile surrounds. Two walk in closets give you plenty of room for all the clothes and storage.
Three more bedrooms of great size and lots more upstairs, again too much to mention.
Meander out to the backyard and you’ll be amazed at this lot. Most of the homes in Brookside are on approximately 10,000 square foot lots. This home sits on 18,200 feet! The owner created an oasis with a large covered barbecue area with seating, a basketball area, putting green and concrete walkways.
The grounds have been landscaped professionally and beautifully by one of the areas better designers.

Another Neighborhood Garage Sale In Brookside
April 26th, 2008 Categories: Brookside Escondido, Escondido, Real Estate News
Gee whiz…we’re having another community garage sale here in Brookside. Excuse me if I don’t seem too excited, it’s just that this has been going on twice a year each of the four years I’ve lived here. 
The first year we did this in Brookside, I thought it was a great idea (even though the founder and coordinator of this event is another local REALTOR team), but as the years have gone by and we are now on garage sale #9, I’m thinking this isn’t the greatest thing for our neighborhood.
You see, Brookside is a relatively small gated community of about 260 homes in North Escondido. When I bought my house here in 2003, brand new and all mine to put my personal stamp on, I was incredibly happy that we had the gates…not just anyone could enter our beautiful oasis.
It isn’t because I’m jealous of the benefits or recognition our fellow REALTOR gets out of this; it’s more because of the concern I have from all the traffic and disorganized chaos that occurs for six hours on our quiet streets. 
Even though it’s advertised in local newspapers to start at 8am, the professional G’salers are patrolling our streets with their pickups, flat-bed trucks, station wagons and anything else they can cram used items into while looking to get “first dibs” when the garage doors start ascending!
On many occasions in years past, when I had to get up early on my Saturday morning to dig up some useless items that have taking up space in my garage, I’ve practically been assaulted by these mad dogs on a mission for the latest used sofa. But what bugs me the most is that these folks get lots of time to peer into my garage or back yard and see what other “goodies” I may have….and this makes me uncomfortable. Call me paranoid, but you should see some of these folks.
My brother lives in another gated community in Rancho Bernardo, and I asked him what he thought about our Real Estate team sponsoring a garage sale in his gated neighborhood. He told me he would use another REALTOR to sell his home if I did!
As a former block captain I have heard about events that I don’t want going on in here. I think tomorrow I’m going to go around to all the neighbors and distribute our flyers and inform people they need to read my blog. I’m going to boycott the garage sale and keep my place buttoned up tight! That way I can sleep in and not worry about a potential burgler posing as a G’saler casing my personal abode!
And if any of you are a garage sale addict, I’m sorry if I’ve offended you as this was not my intention. I just think our development should graduate to individual garage sale status when somebody needs to have one, not the twice a year event it is now.
p.s. - If anyone is in the market for a slightly used bike that I rarely rode or a perfectly functioning 8 track stereo player, give me a jingle and I’ll make you a great deal!
