Nestled in the heart of Riverside’s prestigious Whitegate neighborhood, this rare 1958 mid-century home offers timeless charm, architectural character, and an exceptional opportunity to create something truly special. With 2,195 square feet of living space, 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms, this home sits on an expansive and private .79-acre lot—one of the largest in the neighborhood. The oversized lot is a unique asset, made possible when the original owners purchased the easement to the side of the property after the surrounding orange groves were developed. This thoughtful acquisition created a private, park-like setting rarely found in Whitegate—perfect for anyone who values space, privacy, and potential. At the heart of the home is an incredible enclosed bonus room that captures the spirit of California mid-century design. This all-glass retreat is framed by bold gable windows and panoramic views of the lush backyard. It’s flooded with natural light and inspires creativity—ideal as an art studio, sunroom, home office, or tranquil lounge. It’s a showpiece that connects indoor comfort with outdoor beauty. Original hardwood floors—newly refinished—flow throughout the home, adding warmth and character, while new carpet in the living room brings a fresh touch to the main gathering
