ByApril Glatzel

[ SOLD for $475,000 on 2/20/2020 ]   Lovely 1942 ranch style home with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (1,821 sq ft) in the heart of the historic “Wood Streets” with some vintage flare.

This home has been in the same family for over 40 years, and was recently rehabbed to blend in with neighboring well-maintained homes. Original hardwood floors throughout have recently been refinished, and both the interior and exterior have been painted.

Both bathrooms are 1940s vintage, and in addition to three bedrooms, there is a bonus room overlooking the backyard which could be used as a 4th bedroom (no closet), office, or TV room.

Central air/heat, separate indoor laundry room with utility sink, eat-in kitchen with nook area and original built-in ironing board, lots of cabinetry, and a large formal dining room adjacent to the spacious living room with fireplace and built-in shelving and drawers.

Brand new electrical panel, and brand new grass and landscaping throughout the whole yard, with the roof being only 13 years old. The lot size is 10,454 sq ft (.24/acre), with a pool-size backyard which is begging for kids and pets to romp, and in front of the 2-car garage (with workshop) there is extra space to turn around, so you don’t have to back out onto Magnolia Avenue.

Centrally located — Riverside Plaza and downtown Riverside, as well as walking distance to Riverside Community College and Central Middle School, and convenient for commuters. And there’s still time to close escrow and move in and enjoy the holidays with your family and friends!
