Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1924, this vintage cottage is well-maintained but dated. The kitchen and bathroom appear to be older than 20 years, with the description noting the kitchen is 'ready for your personal touch.' The presence of a window AC unit suggests the lack of a modern central HVAC system, and the interior features like acoustic ceiling tiles and older windows indicate a need for minor repairs and modernization.
This 1924 vintage cottage features original hardwood flooring, a classic tiled fireplace, and built-in shelving, offering a level of character and craftsmanship rarely found in modern construction.
The property includes a detached garage and a long driveway, providing an excellent opportunity for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) conversion to increase property value or generate rental income.
Ideally situated in the desirable Wood Streets area near RCC, Downtown Riverside, and Mount Rubidoux, the home offers exceptional access to local amenities and outdoor recreation.
With under 1,000 square feet of living area and only one bathroom, the home's small footprint may be restrictive for growing families or those needing more functional space.
The kitchen features older tile countertops and requires cosmetic updates to meet modern standards, representing an immediate additional investment for the buyer.
