About this home

SINGLE-STORY LIVING WITH SWEEPING VALLEY VIEWS. Set on a quiet promontory in Riverside's desirable Orchard community, this beautifully maintained home captures panoramic valley, mountain and city-light views from its elevated three-quarter-acre setting. Approximately $225,000 has been invested in thoughtful improvements, reflecting clear pride of ownership throughout this turnkey property. Vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light enhance the formal living room and adjoining dining area, where a gas fireplace and large windows create an inviting atmosphere. A sliding glass door extends the dining space onto the patio. The renovated kitchen features quartz countertops, white shaker cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, a gas cooktop, dedicated pantry and a spacious peninsula with bar seating and generous storage. A bright breakfast nook overlooks the mountains and valley, while the kitchen opens to a vaulted family room with a second gas fireplace and expansive windows. Privately separated from the secondary bedrooms, the primary suite offers double-door entry, vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet and sliding-door patio access. Its renovated bathroom includes dual sinks, white subway tile, a soaking tub, separate glass-enclosed tile shower and recirculating pump for fast hot water. An indoor laundry room leads to the attached three-car garage with EV charger. Outside, quality pavers create ample space for dining, lounging, a barbecue or firepit, while the hot tub offers a relaxing place to enjoy the views. An Alumawood patio cover and awnings provide shade. Beyond the patio, a private grove contains more than 25 citrus trees, including Buddha's hand citron, finger lime, Rio Red grapefruit, Cara Cara, Australian and Washington navel oranges, Meyer lemon and Page tangelo. Additional improvements include a 5.6 kW solar system with battery storage, upgraded windows, tile flooring, two whole-house fans, improved drainage and Rachio-controlled drip irrigation. Modest HOA dues help maintain community standards, and Metrolink is less than three miles away. Shopping, dining, nearby commuter routes and California Citrus State Historic Park are all conveniently accessible.
