This vintage home was built in 1953 and is located on one of the most shaded, picturesque streets in Riverside. It has great curb appeal and has been lovingly maintained; Original solid oak flooring, fireplace, vaulted beamed ceiling in the living/dining room, kitchen nook and a open-beamed family room with two sets of French doors. Shutters throughout the home.  The large, fenced back yard features a spreading Oak tree that provides lots of shade. A brick patio with peaceful pond-fountain is just off the family room. There is a large heated, enclosed atrium for pet birds.  The rear patio is bricked, fenced and gated with built-in cabinets for storage and a shaded awning  that leads to the detached garage.  The roomy two car garage has space for a workshop. There is also a separate storage room and a gardening shed attached to the rear of the garage. This home is a gardener's paradise with a fenced-gated garden area and built-up planting beds with individual irrigation systems.  The home is very secure; security doors, block walls and a custom wrought-iron gate at the driveway for garage entry. On the opposite side, there is a separate area for a small RV or boat parking.  This home stays remarkably cool due to good insulation, an effective HVAC system, a whole-house fan that can cool the house in 5 minutes. This home offers outdoor lifestyles for those that like to garden, BBQ, read on the patio and take in nature. Banking, shopping and library are within walking distance.
