About This Home
As of August 2024Nestled in scenic Riverside; minutes from UCR in the University Hills neighborhood, this iconic post-and-beam residence, built in 1965 by architect Philip Esbensen for his family, stands as a beacon of mid-century modern design and architectural history. Known as the Philip Esbensen House, this property is a true Riverside city landmark (#126) of the west coast, showcasing the timeless principle that "Form Follows Function".
Spread across a generous 2,440 square feet of living area, this meticulously preserved and thoughtfully updated home features four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a studio-style apartment on the lower level with its own kitchenette and separate entrance, effectively offering a fifth bedroom. The home’s unique design is tailored to fit its steep site, with a floor-plan that maximizes breathtaking western views while distinctly separating living spaces from private areas.
As you enter, the home welcomes you with floor-to-ceiling windows that bathe every room in natural light, highlighting the rich walnut cabinetry and sleek quartz countertops in the kitchen, equipped with high-end appliances like a Thermador range & hood and a built-in Thermador refrigerator. The living spaces boast slate tile and newer wood flooring, original walnut features with frosted glass inlays, and an effortless flow that invites serene living.
Each bedroom on the south side offers private access to the newly constructed custom pool and deck, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. Enhanced by an upgraded AC system, this home is not only a testament to historical elegance but also a haven of comfort.
The Philip Esbensen House is one of the last remaining exemplars of the mid-century modern post-and-beam style in the city, making it an unparalleled opportunity for those who appreciate purity of design and historical significance. This home has Mills Act which reduces property taxes up to 50% and will transfer to the next owners.
