[ $798,000] Imagine stepping into a peaceful, executive single-story retreat tucked away in Riverside’s coveted Wood Streets neighborhood—one of those rare gems that feels like a hidden discovery in such a sought-after area. Spanning nearly 2,500 square feet, this home wraps you in generous living space without ever feeling overwhelming.

Inside, you’ll find three spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms, plus a flexible bonus room that effortlessly adapts to whatever life calls for right now—whether that’s a cozy guest suite, a fourth bedroom for growing family, a dedicated home office, or even a private gym. For added convenience, an exterior electric chair lift provides smooth, accessible entry from the garage whenever it’s needed.

What truly sets this property apart is its setting. Perched at the quiet, far edge of the neighborhood on a tucked-away street, the home sits high on a hillside with no rear neighbors—delivering a rare sense of seclusion and sweeping distant mountain views that feel like they belong to you alone.

Step through the front door and the thoughtful updates immediately welcome you: central air and heat keep every season comfortable, while the freshly remodeled kitchen flows naturally into a bright breakfast nook. A formal dining room with elegant built-in cabinetry sets the stage for gatherings, and the step-down family room—with its cozy fireplace, French doors opening to the outdoors, ceiling fans, and custom built-ins throughout—creates warm, inviting spaces to unwind. A second fireplace adds even more ambiance.

Practical touches abound: a reliable alarm system for peace of mind, gated RV parking plus extra off-street space, and a solid two-car garage. Outside, the expansive .41-acre lot—partially hillside—invites your vision to life with room for fruit trees, a thriving garden, or lush, creative landscaping. Where a former spa once stood, a serene water fountain now brings gentle sounds and calm to the surroundings.

And the location? Practically unbeatable. You’re within easy walking distance of Riverside City College, Central Middle School, Eden Lutheran Church, and Riverside Community Hospital. Downtown Riverside’s energy and the Riverside Plaza’s shopping and dining are just a quick drive away.

This isn’t just a house—it’s a rare blend of generous space, thoughtful privacy, hillside serenity, and an unbeatable address in one of Riverside’s most cherished neighborhoods. A true one-of-a-kind opportunity waiting for the right family to call it home.
