[ SOLD for $479,900 on 1/27/2017] A rare opportunity to own a gorgeously maintained mid-century home situated at the base of iconic Mount Rubidoux, surrounded by other unique architectural residences.
This 1961 custom home boasts approximately 2,850 sq ft with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and lower level guest quarters complete with kitchenette, bathroom, fireplace, and separate entrance. The current owner spent over $30,000 on the unique inlaid hardwood floors, copper plumbing, new paint, meticulous maintenance of this corner lot home with mature trees and views of Riverside and Mount Rubidoux fireworks.
Delightful features such as central air/heat, tankless water heater, indoor laundry, breakfast nook, copper re-pipe, and direct garage access! The expansive living room and dining room combo are very welcoming, and the breakfast nook has a pleasant view of Riverside. Walk down a short flight of stairs to the guest quarters (or use as a family or game room) which opens up to the meditative backyard.
The fully enclosed backyard is overflowing with lush greenery, a large mature shade tree, garden area, and RV parking. The entire lot size is 10,019 sq ft (just shy of a quarter acre). The location of this pocket of homes is idyllic. You can put your home search on hold …. this is it!
