About This Home
As of July 2026Welcome to a timeless 1928 residence known as the Backstrand Home, rich in Riverside history and classic architectural charm. Believed to originate from an era when craftsmanship and character were paramount, this home reflects the enduring appeal of early 20th-century design (buyer to verify historical designation and architect). Offering approximately 2,456 square feet, this spacious property features 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, providing exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living and potential income-producing opportunities. This home beams light throughout the first floor with a bedroom, den, office, back porch area and a wonderful living room with a beautiful brick wood burning fireplace. Upstairs boasts 4 full bedrooms and the primary has a small retreat area, gas fireplace and primary also includes attached bath with clawfoot bath tub shower combo. Hall bath upstairs also includes clawfoot bathtub combo and laundry upstairs. In addition, the property includes a separate living area above the garage complete with its own bathroom and kitchen, ideal for extended family, guests, or added rental potential (buyer to verify permits and use). One of the standout features is the expansive front porch—perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation—set along a quiet, tree-lined street that captures the essence of Riverside’s historic neighborhoods. The location offers a unique lifestyle benefit, with near front-row views of the Mount Rubidoux Fourth of July fireworks display. Ideally situated near Mount Rubidoux Park, Ryan Bonaminio Park, and the scenic walking and hiking trails that make this area so desirable, the home also provides convenient access to downtown Riverside, local dining, and major commuter routes.
Set on an approximately 7,800+ square foot lot, the property also offers additional space with ADU potential (buyer to verify), adding further value and opportunity. A rare chance to own a piece of Riverside history in one of its most sought-after and character-filled neighborhoods.
