About this property
WOOD STREETS / GRAND NEIGHBORHOOD- Nestled back from the street in the highly sought-after Wood Streets/Grand neighborhood, this mid-century ranch offers a perfect blend of vintage charm and modern updates. The home immediately impresses with its original hardwood floors and genuine plaster walls, exuding a level of craftsmanship and character that is hard to find. At the heart of the home, a completely remodeled kitchen serves as a stylish and functional centerpiece. The unique floor plan provides a thoughtful layout, offering privacy by setting the primary bedroom apart from the additional living spaces. Practical upgrades abound, including dual-paned windows, a new covered patio, and fresh window awnings that enhance the home's curb appeal. An attached, oversized two-car garage with a dedicated laundry area adds to the convenience of the property. While this residence is move-in ready and meticulously maintained by long-time owners, it also presents a canvas for your imagination. The expansive lot offers limitless opportunities—consider creating a private, enclosed front courtyard or exploring the potential for a detached ADU. The location is truly unbeatable, situated near the vibrant Magnolia Center and the historic Downtown District. With easy access to major transportation for commuting and close proximity to Riverside City College and UC Riverside, this home places you at the center of it all. This is a rare opportunity to own a turn-key property with significant upside in one of Riverside’s most cherished areas.
