4601 Merrill Ave., Riverside
[ SOLD for $375,000 on 11/08/2008 ] Desirable 1930 Spanish Revival in the Palm Heights Historic District. This 3-bedroom 1-bathroom home, with 1630 sq ft boasts original hardwood floors throughout, as well as some original fixtures and lots of charm; however, it needs a little TLC.
Amazing coved ceiling in the living room with a fireplace that’s the focal point in this lovely room, along with an arched walkway leading to the formal dining room. Home has central heat, but not central air, and needs some clean-up, but there are good bones here, as are most homes built in this era.
Vintage galley kitchen with super charming breakfast nook (with two separate built-ins), as well as a French door leading to the indoor laundry room.
Telephone alcove in hallway with large hall closet and linen closet. Bathroom has some original features, like the makeup vanity; however, the tub was removed to create a walk-in shower for handicapped access.
Narrow Hollywood driveway leads you to a permitted 2-story 2-car garage, along with a vintage barbecue in the far back corner of the yard. The lot size is 6,534 sq ft (.15/acre) with shade trees.
Lovely tree-lined street, and walking distance to Riverside Plaza. If interested in booking a showing, please keep in mind that there are special circumstances with this property, so your patience is appreciated; there may be more than a 24 hr notice involved. Conventional or Cash offers preferred.
