Adorable cottage in the historical "Wood Streets" neighborhood still retains its vintage charm with some modern upgrades such as remodeled kitchen with granite counters and dishwasher, remodeled bathroom with pedestal sink and tiled shower enclosure, as well as central air/heat, double pane windows, original built-ins flanking fireplace, and beautiful hardwood floors. The whole exterior was just painted, and wait til you see the spacious pool-size backyard with room for a garden, extra off-alley parking and/or a guest house, 2-car detached garage, and gated parking. There's also a 12' x 24' permitted patio cover. This home may be compact, but its charm and curb appeal are gigantic and beyond reproach! Walking distance to RCC and shopping, and a short drive to the Riverside Plaza or downtown Riverside, as well as Bonaminio Park, Mount Rubidoux hiking trails, and the Santa Ana River cycling trails. So much to do and love in Riverside! Do not hesitate on this one, as it will probably sell over the weekend -- your Christmas shopping can wait a couple of days.
