[ SOLD for $480,000 on 12/28/2017 ] Ultra charming classic 1929 Tudor in the heart of the historical “Wood Streets” on one of the most desired streets, with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and just under 1600 sq ft. Front courtyard with brick accents and curb appeal that is off the charts!
Three bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, large living room with tray ceiling and gas/wood fireplace, formal dining room with coved ceiling, updated kitchen with breakfast nook, master bedroom suite with updated bathroom with spa tub and separate shower, central air/heat, and refinished hardwood floors throughout this lovely home.
There are pull-down stairs to the attic which boasts about 1,000 usable square feet for additional living space (or storage) if needed. Walk-in closets in each bedroom, newer paint inside, and brand new exterior paint! Water heater is about 5 years old, and the roof is about 7 years old. Basement is accessible from inside and could be used as a wine cellar or extra storage.
Automatic sprinklers and drip system in front yard, and back yard is a blank slate completely enclosed with slump stone privacy wall, and the cutest little play house in the far back corner off the yard. And to round out this too-good-to-be-true scenario, there’s a detached 2-car garage with automatic roll-up door, and RV parking. The lot size is 9,148 sq ft, just shy of a quarter acre.
This home is registered with the City of Riverside as Structure of Merit #742. Don’t hesitate, as homes on this street rarely come on the market, and when they do, they get scooped up very quickly.
