Welcome to a Riverside home that goes beyond expectations—upgraded, stylish, and filled with versatile spaces. The bright open floor plan offers easy flow, accentuated by laminate flooring, dual-pane windows, and a striking wood-burning stone fireplace with a matching stone hearth that anchors the living room. This space is further elevated by a beautifully detailed crown-edge tray ceiling, exclusive to the living room, adding architectural interest and a touch of sophistication. The dining room opens to the living room and is adjacent to the refreshed galley kitchen featuring granite counters, a modern single-basin sink, a new Mohen garbage disposal, stainless steel refrigerator and dishwasher, and an extended counter that doubles as extra eating space. All three bedrooms offer comfort with updated finishes and large closets, while the interior bathrooms shine with thoughtful improvements. The fully renovated primary bath showcases contemporary tilework, a glass-enclosed shower, and a sleek vanity. A massive attic provides exceptional bonus storage. The backyard is a genuine retreat with upgraded irrigation, fresh exterior paint, privacy enhancements, and lush landscaping including palms, plumeria, a naval orange, Santa Rosa plum and Eureka lemon fruit trees. From select vantage points, enjoy peaceful surrounding views that bring openness and calm. The drive-through attached garage includes upgraded electrical and a newer water heater. The new roof is a huge upgrade as well. The impressive 24 ft x 24 ft permitted two-car garage/workshop/flex space is the property’s crown jewel—enhanced with upgraded electrical, structural improvements, water and gas lines, its own water heater, and a mini split system providing heating and cooling for comfortable climate control year-round. Inside, a fully finished wash room offers a tiled shower area, lighting, and ventilation. Nearby, a dedicated laundry area with a utility sink adds convenience without limiting the use of the space. A charming 8 ft x 12 ft barn-style Tuff Shed offers additional storage or hobby potential while enhancing the character of the yard. Set within Riverside’s vibrant university corridor, the home offers quick access to La Sierra University, CBU, UC Riverside, nearby shopping, freeways, and recreation—ideal for those who value convenience, community, and the energy of a university town. This is more than a home—it's a lifestyle.
