3620 Beechwood Place, Riverside, CA 92506

[ SOLD for $460,000 in November 2020 ] Quintessential Spanish style in the historic “Wood Streets” neighborhood. Barrel ceiling, sconce lighting, wood-burning fireplace, large picture window, huge formal dining room in addition to a charming breakfast nook, indoor laundry, walk-in pantry, two walk-in bedroom closets, fantastic vintage cabinetry in the bathroom, lathe and plaster walls with picture rails in dining room and both bedrooms, hardwood floors throughout, inward opening casement windows, original glass doorknobs, basement, and fabulous central air/heat. The Spanish tile roof was replaced about 20 years ago, so it should continue to serve as a good roof for many more years, and the electrical was updated about 20 years ago too. So many amazing features, too many to list here. Read the photo descriptions and then realize just how close you are to so many places in Riverside: walking distance to RCC, ride your bike to the grocery store or Trader Joe’s, jog or hike the paths on Mt. Rubidoux, or take a short drive (or longer bike ride) to downtown Riverside for entertainment, dining experiences, museums, etc. The backyard is a blank slate, so bring your imagination. A super incredible find.

Welcome home! Walk through the wrought iron gate to the open porch of this ultra special Spanish style home in the Wood Streets.

Front door entrance flanked by two side doors — the next photo will surprisingly reveal their contents.

We’re thinking that removing the doors to display the contents full-time might be more appropriate. However… remember to never, ever, ever throw any original fixtures or screens or doors away from a vintage home. Keep everything in the safety of an attic for future use.

This barrel ceiling is the fundamental charm of this Spanish style “Wood Streets” home. And that original large picture window is simply stunning.

Alternate view of the barrel ceiling living room with wood-burning fireplace and storage closet, complete with the original skeleton key.

The pièce de résistance of this fascinating home is the wood-burning fireplace with alcove and intricate detailed scrolls.

This table is large enough to sit 8, and there is still room to walk around this sizeable room and/or add a hutch or buffet.

View from the dining room out to the front porch and lovely neighboring homes, on one of the most desirable blocks in all of the “Wood Streets.”

This kitchen has enough space (if you borrow from the laundry room and walk-in pantry) to remodel into a much larger modern kitchen if desired; OR simply retain the current vintage feel with the original breakfast nook.

Kitchen has tile flooring which flows into the charming breakfast nook.

Wake up to a cup of morning coffee in this sweet and charming breakfast nook.

View from inside the kitchen, with door to the laundry porch on the left, the original built-in ironing board straight ahead, and the spacious walk-in pantry to the right.

Screened-in laundry porch with room for a stackable unit next to the sink.

Fabulous vintage bathroom with original honeycomb tile floor, original pedestal sink, and original built-ins and storage under the seat.

Bedroom #1 with EIGHT windows (two out of view), ceiling fan, hardwood floors, AND a true walk-in closet.

This is a ‘first’ in our hundreds and hundreds of Wood Streets listings — we present to you, an original furnace damper control switch regulator. See next photo for idea of exactly where it’s located in the house.

Hallway alcoves (one for a phone, and one for the furnace damper control switch regulator) which lead to bedroom #2.

Classic 1920’s “Hollywood” style driveway and 1-car garage. Lots of space in the backyard to make the garage wider and/or deeper. There is also basement access just outside the laundry room door, next to the driveway.

Bedroom #2 with original hardwood flooring, SIX original casement windows, a ceiling fan, a doorway to the backyard (with doggy door), and a smaller walk-in closet.

The lot size is 8,712 sq ft (.20/acre) that is basically a blank slate. In addition to more room behind the garage, there is plenty of space for gardening, grassy areas, and/or a pool. At least 4 citrus trees, and a huge Bougainvillea covering a wooden gazebo.

One of the most desirable blocks of the historic “Wood Streets”. Walk to RCC or bike ride to grocery stores, or take a short drive to downtown Riverside for the local Farmer’s Market and/or entertainment.
