A Rare Opportunity to Own a Piece of Riverside History!! Perched on a hilltop above Fairmount Park with breathtaking, unobstructed views of the San Bernardino Mountains, this stunning Queen Anne Stick Victorian home offers timeless charm and modern convenience. Originally built circa 1894 and relocated from behind the iconic Mission Inn, this meticulously preserved single-family residence is a true gem in Riverside’s evolving landscape. The property is ideally located near a century old park, lake, golf course, freeway access and a short walk to the iconic downtown area restaurants, entertainment and The Mission Inn. Set on an expansive, gated 11,000+ sq. ft. lot surrounded by elegant stone and wrought iron walls, the home features three bedrooms—two on the main level and one private suite upstairs—along with a beautiful bathroom boasting a classic claw-foot tub. The home’s high ceilings and tall windows flood the space with natural light, accentuating historic details like the full period mirrored bar in the grand dining room and a newly updated kitchen with modern appliances. Additional highlights include an indoor laundry room and half bath just off of the kitchen, a freestanding one-car garage with an unfinished carport, an EV charging connection, a newer roof, and exterior paint. Sustainability and convenience meet with a reverse osmosis water softener with alkaline tap at the kitchen sink. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a piece of Riverside’s rich architectural heritage with room to expand. Don’t miss it!
