Property Description
Step into this storybook setting as you open a delightful chapter of history and charm in this exquisite 1920 Craftsman-style bungalow, nestled within the heart of Riverside. Welcome inside to a symphony of beautiful original woodwork and hardwood floors that flow throughout the home, ascend the stairway upward and flank the stone fireplace surrounded by craftsman book shelves. The large dining room is a captivating space, featuring a gorgeous built-in buffet...perfect for showcasing treasured collections or serving grand feasts. Beyond, the galley kitchen, with modern amenities that carry on to the next owner, opens up to a generous window overlooking the lush garden, infusing the space with natural light and charm; a perfect spot to snuggle up to the breakfast bar to enjoy your morning cup of coffee with a picturesque view. A thoughtfully appointed primary or guest suite awaits, boasting its own private bathroom. This ingenious design allows for a seamless transition directly into the kitchen and steps away from the lovely covered patio & garden oasis. Serenity awaits in this private area embraced by a classic wood fence, featuring a discreet gate leading to a long, spanning drive-through driveway that stretches to the rear alley, promising effortless coming and going, abundant parking, and space to envision a future garage. A grand ascent culminates in the upstairs foyer with soaring ceilings, a comfortable bedroom offers a walk-in closet, while the foyer bathroom provides voluminous space, you must try the luxurious fainting couch, alongside an extra-large storage closet designed for all your linens and cherished holiday decor. However, the pièce de résistance is the primary suite, a sanctuary that commands its own private wing of the house. An airy expanse is created by vaulted ceilings, while floor-to-ceiling custom built-in bookcases line the walls, featuring intricate niches carved for your cherished art pieces and secret compartments to tuck away your most valued possessions. An almost hidden walk-in closet, discreetly tucked behind the bookcase, adds an element of delightful surprise. With its private bath and abundant room for a dedicated sitting area with writing desk or cafe table with moving bar cart for your coffees or cocktails, the possibilities for personalizing this retreat are truly endless! This Riverside bungalow is more than just a home; it's an enchanting abode where history whispers from every corner, and modern life dances with whimsical delight. Welcome home to a life less ordinary where community isn't just a location, but a heartfelt connection.
