[ SOLD for $250,000 on 8/29/2013 ]   This beautiful Craftsman style home with 1320 sq ft was built in 1919 with a recessed porch with doric columns. In addition to two large bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet, there is a large finished basement that could be used as a 3rd bedroom or an office/den.

The living room greets you with a 9-foot ceiling and a fireplace flanked by built-in shelves and a desk, as well as original hardwood floors! Walk through the glass-paneled French pocket doors into the formal dining room complete with built-in China hutch and one wall of gorgeous windows which welcomes the flow of natural light.

Updated conveniences include an updated bathroom, central air/heat, and an 8-yr-old 2-car detached finished garage. There’s also a convenient indoor laundry room with lots of cabinetry. In rounding out this terrific package, you’ll enjoy a lushly landscaped private back yard large enough for a pool, with a covered patio, and gated boat or small RV parking!

This block of downtown is really nice, with great neighbors, comparable homes, and walking distance to the Mission Inn, the Fox Theater, and all the festivities that downtown Riverside has to offer.

This is a STANDARD sale!  FHA offers are welcome!
