Located in the heart of Riverside's highly coveted Wood Streets Historic District, this stunning 1923 Craftsman bungalow home has been comprehensively reimagined — every major system replaced, every surface thoughtfully elevated — while preserving the timeless character that makes it a true jewel of one of Riverside's most treasured neighborhoods. Mature Juniper Canopy trees frame the front of the property, a long paver driveway welcomes you home, and the iconic yellow front door makes a statement before you even step inside. The open floor plan flows beautifully, anchored by rich 3/4" solid white oak hardwood floors, craftsman-style 7" baseboards, original doors and hardware, and period-appropriate window casings that honor the home's century-old roots. The kitchen is a true centerpiece — featuring custom designer cabinetry with soft-close drawers and pull-out pantry, quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, chimney-style vent hood, and a full KitchenAid stainless steel appliance suite including double oven, gas cooktop, dishwasher, and refrigerator. The third bedroom is currently used as an office with a garden view and no closet. Both bathrooms have been fully remodeled with double vanities, and the primary suite offers an ensuite bath and a walk-in closet. A cozy fireplace with gas logs anchors the living area with warmth and charm. The home's mechanicals and plumbing is fully renovated: full PEX plumbing throughout including the main line to the meter, updated electrical throughout with recessed lighting and ceiling fans, a complete HVAC system with ductwork installed from scratch, double-pane vinyl windows, a whole-house water filtration system, seismic retrofit, alarm system and EV charging pre-wire near the driveway. The oversized 546 sq ft garage features a classic barn door, 10 windows, storage loft, and laundry hookups, with a bonus AC split unit — a perfect workshop, gym, or possible ADU opportunity. A 120 sq ft walk-in basement adds rare additional storage. Out back, a wood deck, covered BBQ area, and garden surround a remarkable collection of mature trees — pecan, persimmon, Meyer lemon, loquat, apple, black walnut and more — all with alley access and a quality storage shed with electrical. A short walk to Ryan Bonaminio Park and Mt. Rubidoux, and just five minutes to Downtown Riverside. This is Wood Streets living at its very finest — move-in ready, loaded with upgrades, and full of the kind of soul that simply cannot be replicated.
