Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1963, the property appears to be in mostly original condition. While the exterior and large concrete driveway are well-maintained, the wooden deck and gazebo show significant weathering and age. The lack of interior photos and the description's focus on 'bringing it back to its glory days' suggest that the kitchen, bathrooms, and major systems are likely outdated and require modernization to meet current standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- High Available Lot Utilization
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 63598, living area = 1986.
- Development Potential

About 12257 Skywood Court
NO HOA DUES / NO MELLO-ROOS / HUGE PRICE DROP!!! AMAZING PROPERTY…Nearly 360° Views above the rooftops. This 3 bed / 2 bath home sits on nearly 1.5 acres and is situated in the center of Victoria Grove, a gated neighborhood, which was built around the property. As you enter the property, you have ample parking for 6+ vehicles. Your front porch has some great mountain views and Downtown Riverside’s city lights on those clear nights. The formal dining room's picture window shares some of those same views. BUT WAIT, THERE ARE MORE VIEWS... The family room catches those sunsets that we all love in the summer. WAIT IS THAT ALL?? NO WAY. Check out that HUGE COVERED DECK!!. Great for entertaining, or simply relaxing with the breeze coming up the hills. The remainder of the property is there for you, your creativity, and your imagination. Build an ADU or two or three? Maybe an infinity pool? Maybe bring it back to its glory days, with rows of Orange and Avocado Trees. You might be able to do them all with the space that you have. Check local zoning and permitting of course.
