A True Hidden Gem in the Heart of Riverside, formerly known as "The Idea House". In the mid-1990s, a redevelopment agency purchased this Victorian known as “the idea house” and had it fixed up as part of a TV show. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a unique and versatile property in the thriving City of Riverside. Situated on a large corner lot, this expansive home features 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms — including a private in-house apartment — offering a variety of potential uses. Whether you're an investor looking to continue its use as a sober living facility, transform it into student housing, or develop a charming boutique hotel just minutes from downtown Riverside, the possibilities are endless (buyer to verify zoning and permitted uses). With Riverside’s rapid growth and revitalization, this property is perfectly positioned to be a standout asset. Are you ready to be a visionary and capitalize on one of the Inland Empire’s fastest-growing markets?
