[ SOLD for $324,900 on 11/10/2014 ]  Charming 1924 California Bungalow is an award-winning home that has been featured on posters of Riverside. With two spacious bedrooms, a sitting room/library, 2 bathrooms, and almost 1300 sq ft, your jaw will drop when you walk through the front door and experience the gorgeous original hardwood floors.

Many original features such as hardwood floors, doorknobs and wood doors are still intact; however, modern conveniences such as updated kitchen, central air/heat, updated electrical, copper plumbing, newer sewer line, additional 1/2 bath, and some double pane windows round out this vintage downtown home!

The modern kitchen boasts a dishwasher, garden window, tile counter tops, newer engineered wood flooring, refrigerator, and gas stove. In addition to two bedrooms, there is a sitting room/library off the dining room with wood flooring and built-in hutch and desk. The back bedroom is large enough for a California King, and the second bedroom has a custom built-in closet dresser.

The main bathroom has a separate shower and a vintage claw foot tub, along with newer sink and commode, and tile flooring. Separate indoor laundry room (stackable washer/dryer included) doubles as an ultra-convenient 1/2 bath. Large attic space with dormer could possibly be converted to more living square footage. In addition to a 1 1/2-car size garage with roll-up door, there is room to park another 5 cars on the property.

Walk to the trails on Mt. Rubidoux, boat or picnic at Fairmount Park, cycle the Santa Ana River Trail, and enjoy so many other downtown sites like the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa, the Fox Theatre, the Museum of Photography, etc.

This home has had only 3 owners, and is a true welcoming and award-winning neighborhood with long-time neighbors and gorgeous homes!  Corner lot!  Sweet!!
