INCREDIBLE VALUE IN ONE OF RIVERSIDE'S MOST DESIRABLE LOCATIONS! Imagine owning a nearly 2,200-square-foot home for the price of a house half its size, surrounded by neighborhoods where million-dollar homes are the norm! Tucked into a fantastic location between Canyon Crest, Alessandro Heights and Hillcrest, this spacious four-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome presents an exceptional opportunity to enjoy more space, an outstanding location and an incredible value. Lovingly cared for by longtime art collectors, the home offers a distinctive sense of character and warmth, with thoughtful finishes and beautifully remodeled, high-end bathrooms. The generous floor plan feels more like a single-family residence, featuring spacious living areas and a large main-level bedroom currently configured as an office, along with a convenient powder room. Upstairs, the exceptionally spacious primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a dramatic vaulted ceiling and a beautifully remodeled en-suite bath with dual sinks, a soaking tub and separate walk-in shower. Additional highlights include a newer HVAC system, water softener and an installed stair lift, offering an added accessibility feature for those with mobility considerations. Step outside to your private rear patio, where mature specimen eucalyptus and pepper trees create a peaceful backdrop, beautiful views and a wonderful sense of privacy. Best of all, enjoy an exceptionally low-maintenance lifestyle, with landscaping and the building exterior maintained by the HOA. The private community also features a pool and spa. Ideally situated near highly regarded schools, Canyon Crest Towne Centre, Mission Grove Shopping Center, dining, shopping and everyday conveniences, this location is hard to beat.
