About This Home

1296 Tiger Tail Drive

Nestled in the heart of Riverside’s prestigious Whitegate neighborhood, this rare 1958 mid-century home offers timeless charm, architectural character, and an exceptional opportunity to create something truly special. With 2,195 square feet of living space, 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms, this home sits on an expansive and private .79-acre lot—one of the largest in the neighborhood. The oversized lot is a unique asset, made possible when the original owners purchased the easement to the side of the property after the surrounding orange groves were developed. This thoughtful acquisition created a private, park-like setting rarely found in Whitegate—perfect for anyone who values space, privacy, and potential. At the heart of the home is an incredible enclosed bonus room that captures the spirit of California mid-century design. This all-glass retreat is framed by bold gable windows and panoramic views of the lush backyard. It’s flooded with natural light and inspires creativity—ideal as an art studio, sunroom, home office, or tranquil lounge. It’s a showpiece that connects indoor comfort with outdoor beauty. Original hardwood floors—newly refinished—flow throughout the home, adding warmth and character, while new carpet in the living room brings a fresh touch to the main gathering space. The layout is inviting and functional, with room to personalize and elevate at your pace. Step outside to your private backyard oasis, where a custom Bogner-designed pool takes center stage. Surrounded by mature trees, including a stately oak, this yard is made for entertaining, relaxing, or dreaming bigger. Tucked in the corner, a tropical-inspired tiki hut with its own bathroom and small bunkhouse adds personality and extra flexibility—perfect for guests, a future cabana, or your next creative project. This is not just a home; it’s a canvas. A property with great bones, unique architecture, and a one-of-a-kind lot in one of Riverside’s most sought-after communities. With vision and inspiration, this Whitegate residence could become an unforgettable estate.
