Welcome to Melody Lane Gardens in the heart of Riverside’s Ramona neighborhood. Built in 1956, this home has unique features that give it a modern feel. It has been lovingly cared for over the past 35 years by the same family and is ready for its new caretakers to come in and make it theirs. The vaulted ceilings in the living and dining rooms welcome you to the open floor plan. The kitchen still has pink tile and a pink Western Hally gas oven, and plenty of storage. The recessed lighting in the kitchen creates a bright place to prepare your meals. Off the living room, through an arched entry, there is a large family room which was added to the home in 1961. This room has a faux beam ceiling creating a nice, casual atmosphere. The 3 bedrooms all have vaulted ceilings as well. They are good-sized rooms with 2 bedrooms facing the front of the home and the main bedroom at the back of the home. The main bedroom suite has a ¾ bath with a walk-in shower. All the bedrooms are large, with windows bringing in natural light. The hall bathroom is a ¾ bath with a tub only, no shower. This home is priced to reflect the need for some TLC, but the bones and systems are good. The HVAC system was completely redone, including the ducting, in 2010. The water heater was replaced in 2017. The home was re-roofed and had the exterior painted in 2021, and the garage door is new. The backyard provides a spacious play area with orange and fig trees. This neighborhood is central to shopping, freeways, schools, and colleges. The perfect place to be in the great city of Riverside!
