About This Home
As of February 2026Welcome home to 281 Washington St in Riverside- functional, bright, spacious layout with lots of amenities. This raised ranch is a corner lot with a deck in the front, and a patio, storage shed, and fenced-in yard in the back. The attached one car garage is oversized. Walk in into the living room with vaulted ceilings and big windows facing west for great sunset views. The living room leads into the large dining room that also has vaulted ceilings and large windows facing east for sunrise views! The kitchen and dining room are open concept and also has a breakfast bar. The kitchen has a great amount of counter top space and cabinets, ideal for someone who likes to spend time in the kitchen or hosting. There is also a walk-in closet for pantry or extra closet space. Main floor wraps around in a circle so the living room connects back to the kitchen and down the hallway in-between them is the three nicely sized bedrooms and full bathroom that has been updated. Off the other end of the kitchen is a door to the backyard and patio or stairs to the basement. The basement has a living room space, another bedroom, a laundry area, a storage/hvac room, and a half bathroom, as well as access to the garage. The bedroom in the basement has a walk in closet. This home is unique as it has a gas furnace AND hot water heat- so you can choose and switch between the two easily. This is a great home that has been loved by it's current owner and it's ready for someone to continue that love. Feel free to call listing agent with any questions or to schedule a showing at your convenience.
