About This Home

As of April 2025

Located in the heart of the historic and highly sought-after Wood Streets, this is not your typical cookie-cutter home. Built in 1953, this eclectic Spanish Revivalesque-style residence is full of character, charm, and thoughtful upgrades—perfect for those who appreciate unique design and a home with soul.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the drought-tolerant landscaping and the stunning architectural details that set the tone for what’s inside. Step through the front door and you’re welcomed by a bright and inviting living area, where an expansive picture window floods the space with natural light and a cozy fireplace becomes the focal point.

The flow continues to the dining area and a beautifully remodeled kitchen featuring upgraded cabinets, countertops, and linoleum flooring that nods to the home’s original charm while embracing modern convenience.

Downstairs, you’ll find a versatile lower level with its own three-quarter bath, a laundry area, and a spacious bonus room—ideal for a home theater, creative workspace, or hobbyist’s dream studio. There’s even a small additional bedroom, making this floor a great flex space for guests or multi-generational living.

Upstairs, two well-appointed bedrooms await. The front bedroom features its own en suite bathroom and views of the street. The primary bedroom, tucked privately toward the back, offers a peaceful retreat.

Step out back to the Trex deck, designed with low-maintenance longevity in mind, and envision yourself hosting weekend BBQs or enjoying Riverside’s golden-hour sunsets. With alley access and a generous backyard, there’s plenty of room for entertaining, gardening, or even adding an ADU (check with the city).

This is a rare opportunity to own a truly one-of-a-kind home in one of Riverside’s most beloved neighborhoods. Full of warmth, history, and personality—3956 Ramona Drive is ready to welcome its next chapter.
