In the heart of Riverside, this 1929 home offers the kind of scale, craftsmanship, and livability that have made the neighborhood's historic homes so enduring. Spanning three full stories, the home unfolds with generous proportions, abundant natural light, and a floorplan ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. From the moment you step inside, the home feels welcoming and substantial, with historic character carried throughout in the original wood floors, large windows, and thoughtfully preserved details that speak to its era while still living comfortably for today. Beginning with the wraparound porch, which invites slow evenings and conversation, this is the home you've been waiting to see!
The first floor is anchored by a spacious foyer that opens into separate living and dining rooms, creating distinct yet connected spaces for gathering. The large kitchen offers exceptional workspace and storage, ready for everything from quiet mornings at home to hosting friends and family, while a separate laundry room and first-floor half bath add convenience to the layout. Just beyond, the home's outdoor spaces become a true extension of the interior. The backyard was clearly designed with entertaining in mind. A two-tiered deck overlooks the beautifully landscaped yard and outdoor kitchen complete with a built-in grill, refrigerator, and sink, creating an effortless setting for weekend gatherings, celebrations, and long dinners outdoors.
Upstairs, the second floor includes three bedrooms, among them the spacious owner's suite with a walk-in closet and an ensuite bath featuring dual sinks, a soaking tub, and separate shower. An additional full bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms on the floor. The third floor continues to offer flexibility with two additional bedrooms, a half bath, and a private balcony overlooking the backyard, ideal for guests, home office space, creative studios, or additional living quarters depending on your needs.
Located in the heart of Riverside with a Walk Score of 80, this home places you moments from some of the neighborhood's most loved restaurants, shops, parks, and gathering places while offering the space, character, and presence that are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Off-street parking completes this exceptional opportunity to become the next steward of a classic Riverside home.
