About This Home

As of July 2023

Delightful home in Riverside that has been thoughtfully renovated and updated is being offered for purchase. The home has had a complete make over giving it a fresh look and modern aesthetic. Entering from under the front porch, the foyer is warm and inviting and giving you a hint of what is to come. Walking into the newly created family room/ kitchen/ dining room combination, be amazed by all the natural light, from the skylight in the cathedral ceiling in the dining room and the wall of sliders in both the dining and family rooms. Natural light streams in. Both of these spaces have gas fireplaces which provides added ambiance. The oversized kitchen island is the anchor for the space. Not only does it provide casual seating, it is a great gathering spot, prep space and home to the Thermador Dishwasher and farmhouse style sink. The six burner Thermador stove will make cooking for a crowd a piece of cake and the Thermador fridge is big enough to hold lots of left overs! Just beyond the kitchen is the living room, a quiet spot away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the home. Past the dining room, there is the mud room with custom cubbies for storage. The side entrance leads to the driveway and from here there is access to the two car garage. Beyond the mudroom there is the laundry with access to the rear yard and a private stair case takes you to Bedroom 4. Designed with its own kitchenette area, this could be the perfect guest room, or for that boomerang child or even an au pair. The uses are endless. It has its own private bath which has been recently renovated, making it a its own little oasis. The 5th bedroom/ office on the first floor, with its stylish built-ins is right next door to a first floor full bath and provides first floor sleeping space if needed. The second floor primary bedroom has been completely transformed with large walk-in closet with organizational system and a tranquil feeling ensuite bath with extra large shower and double vanity.
