Property Description

Classic character meets fresh updates in this charming Cape Cod-style home tucked into an established neighborhood near Riverside’s Magnolia Center. Offering 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and approximately 1,473 square feet, the versatile two-story floor plan features two bedrooms downstairs and two upstairs, providing plenty of flexibility for family, guests, a home office, or hobbies. Inside, new flooring gives the home a fresh feel while the open kitchen connects naturally with the main living areas. The vintage tile bathrooms preserve some of the home's original 1950s character, creating a great blend of classic charm and everyday functionality. Central air adds year-round comfort. The outdoor spaces are a major highlight. Out back, the former screened-in porch—now opened up with the screens removed—creates an inviting extension of the living space overlooking the private backyard. A separate large covered porch provides even more room for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing throughout the year. Mature landscaping adds shade and character to the property. Fresh exterior paint enhances the home's curb appeal, while an attached two-car garage provides convenient parking and storage. With its distinctive Cape Cod architecture, flexible four-bedroom layout, new flooring, expansive outdoor living areas, and convenient Riverside location, this home offers a combination of character and versatility that's increasingly hard to find.
