Tucked away in one of Riverside’s best-kept secrets, this 3-bed, 2.5-bath home sits on a private 1/3-acre lot at the base of Mt. Rubidoux. Surrounded by three major city parks and overlooking the Santa Ana River Bottom, this serene retreat offers direct access to the 110-mile Santa Ana River Trail while being just minutes from downtown. Inside, the open living room is bathed in natural light, with expansive sliding glass doors framing stunning river bottom views. A custom rock gas and wood-burning fireplace adds warmth, while the large covered deck invites you to relax and take in breathtaking sunsets. The kitchen offers Corian countertops, custom cabinetry with glass knobs, and under-cabinet lighting. Nearby, the laundry room includes a custom shower, deep sink, storage, and counter space. Laminate wood flooring flows throughout the main level, which has been thoughtfully updated with new plumbing, electrical upgrades, fresh stucco, insulation, and dual-pane gas windows. Downstairs, a private one-bedroom, one-bath suite features its own living area, walk-in closet, and separate entrance—ideal for guests, a home office, or creative space. The backyard is a blank slate, fully enclosed with vinyl fencing and unobstructed river bottom views. Additional highlights include mirrore
