About this property

FIRST TIME ON THE MARKET ORIGINAL OWNERS SINCE IT WAS BUILT! In one of Riverside's most desirable areas, adjacent to Canyon Crest and Sycamore Canyon Wilderness Park, a Sanctuary within a short walk, where you can see nature's display on stage as you explore the trails. This Beautiful two-story home offers just under 3,000 square feet, 4 large bedrooms, an extra-large bonus bedroom, and 3 bathrooms, with a grand entrance through custom double beveled glass doors into a foyer with vaulted ceilings and custom light fixtures throughout. A large open kitchen is perfect for big get-togethers, with a pantry, stainless steel appliances, and an inviting family room with a custom limestone and stone fireplace and custom mantel. The home offers 1 downstairs bedroom, which can be used as an office, and 1 downstairs bath. A separate large laundry room offers ample cabinetry for storage and linens. The primary suite is upstairs, with a seamless open-concept design crowned by dramatic vaulted ceilings and a wall of panoramic windows framing sunset views in the evening, and a walk-in closet with 2 additional closets. The elegant washroom features a deep soaking tub and dual pedestal sinks. Through the custom French doors off the kitchen, you step into an exquisite backyard with ample room for a pool, plus 11,326 square feet of outdoor space. AN EXQUISITE HOME PRIVATELY NESTLED WITH A LUSH BOTANICAL SANCTUARY! A tranquil, park-like setting with mature trees, an exotic Dragon Tree, Jacarandas, Japanese Elms, and tropical palms, giant sagos, and the gentle cadence of a central fountain's soothing whisper of flowing water, with sweeping beds of white iceburg roses framing vignettes of the city skyline and sunsets. This home has been maintained with pride of ownership, with new interior and exterior paint, custom front and French back doors, and custom wainscoting. This stunning backyard is truly a private oasis. The same commitment to comfort carries indoors. You will find 2 premium, three-year-old Ultra Prime HVAC LENNOX systems, a new furnace, Nest Wi-Fi thermostats, and a brand-new 29-panel solar array keeping your energy bills exceptionally low! This home is a rare offering of uncompromising quality, now on the market for the first time, and stands as a testament to the original owners' vision of meticulous stewardship. Aside from the highly lived-in flooring, which is ready for a refresh, every detail of this home is in flawless, and in premium condition.

Loan assumptions and ownership costs

Blank costs are excluded, not confirmed to be zero. Get taxes, insurance and HOA estimates for this property; prior-owner taxes may change after purchase. Mortgage insurance depends on your loan—ask your lender.

Enter your rate and costs, then calculate.

Illustration only—not a rate quote, preapproval, lending offer or affordability determination. Assumes equal monthly payments on a fully amortizing fixed-rate loan; no adjustable rates, interest-only periods or balloon payments. Excludes closing costs, utilities, maintenance, special assessments and other unentered costs. Actual payments and escrow can differ. Review a Loan Estimate with your lender.
