Property is new construction or fully renovated.
The property has undergone a comprehensive top-to-bottom renovation within the last 5 years. Key systems are nearly new, including a 2024 solar system, 2023 electrical panel, and 2020 roof. The kitchen and all three bathrooms are fully remodeled with modern luxury finishes like quartz countertops and frameless glass showers, placing it in mint condition.
The property features significant high-value improvements including a 20-panel owned solar system (2024), a new roof (2020), and an updated electrical panel, offering long-term energy savings and peace of mind.
Unlike standard renovations, this home boasts unique designer elements such as soaring cathedral ceilings with exposed dark wood beams, shiplap detailing, and custom floor-to-ceiling wainscoting.
With 2,841 SF, five bedrooms, and a large bonus room, the floor plan is exceptionally well-suited for multigenerational living or a large family requiring flexible work-from-home spaces.
While convenient for commuters, the close proximity to the 57 and 55 freeway interchange may result in persistent ambient traffic noise within the outdoor living areas.
Despite the home's comprehensive 2020-2024 updates, the surrounding 1960s neighborhood may lack the modern infrastructure and uniform aesthetic found in newer master-planned developments.
Welcome to 538 E Riverview Ave — a fully renovated 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 2,841 SF two-story home in a quiet Orange neighborhood, minutes from the 57 and 55 freeways. Built in 1966 and comprehensively updated from top to bottom, this home delivers rare architectural character paired with modern luxury finishes throughout. The living room commands immediate attention with a dramatic soaring cathedral ceiling featuring exposed dark wood beams set against a crisp white shiplap ceiling- a stunning architectural detail that creates an open, grand atmosphere few homes can match. A floor-to-ceiling stacked stone accent fireplace anchors the space, while wide-plank luxury vinyl plank flooring flows seamlessly through the main level. Large gable-end windows flood the room with natural light. The fully remodeled kitchen showcases new dark espresso cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large island with bar seating, and a striking mosaic glass-and-stone tile backsplash. The open-concept layout connects directly to the living and dining areas — ideal for entertaining at any scale. The dining room features a dramatic floor-to-ceiling board-and-batten wainscoting accent wall in deep charcoal. The primary suite carries the same bold designer wainscoting treatment, with plush carpet, ceiling fan, and a fully remodeled en-suite bath. All three bathrooms are renovated — one with large-format dark gray tile, decorative mosaic border strip, and frameless glass shower; a second with travertine tile and dark wood vanity with stone countertop; a third with updated finishes and glass enclosure. The spacious bonus room with LVP flooring is perfect for a media room, home gym, or multigenerational living. Dedicated laundry room with upper cabinetry. The 3-car attached garage features epoxy floors and custom built-in white cabinetry. The private backyard offers a flat full grass lawn with brick-edged perimeter beds and block wall fencing- ready for entertaining or play. Major upgrades: 20-panel owned solar system (2024), new electrical panel (2023), new roof (2016), new exterior paint and stucco (2020). Zoned for top-rated Orange Unified School District including Villa Park High School.
