Don’t miss this spacious and bright home located in one of Riverside’s most desirable neighborhoods. Lovingly maintained, with high ceilings and a lovely dining area and living room, this home is the perfect blend of comfort and flow. One bedroom is conveniently located downstairs (it would make a great office), while the other three, including an airy master with vaulted ceilings, are upstairs. The updated kitchen has tons of counter space and storage and opens to the cozy family room complete with fireplace. Sliding plantation shutters adorn the sliding doors that lead to the well-manicured backyard, making entertaining a breeze. With expansive views, the backyard provides the perfect tranquil gathering place for relaxing with friends and family or enjoying a good book. With fruit trees and privacy, and a sense of openness, who can ask for more? The 3-car garage houses laundry, and plenty of storage, while RV parking provides more than enough room for guest parking or entertainment vehicles. Close to UC Riverside, the Canyon Crest Country Club, and shopping and restaurants, this home is for you!
