Property Description
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.
