Introducing a truly exceptional property surrounded by the breathtaking Box Springs Mountain Preserve. This oasis was once a backdrop for famed Hollywood cinematographer and Riverside native, Ken Middleham. Time stands still in his projection room, theater, darkroom and workshop. This unique home is currently owned by an artist and has been an incredible canvas for creativity and self-expression. This home has been lovingly maintained by only two owners over its 60-year existence. This remarkable gated retreat boasts privacy and breathtaking views on a sprawling one-acre property. The layout of the 3523 square foot multi-level floorplan is ideal for multigenerational living, affording everyone a sense of privacy. The original roof was recently replaced with a standing seam metal roof offering practical durability and aesthetic appeal. Other features and improvements include an updated kitchen, a newer A/C and heat pump, updated windows and tons of built-ins throughout. The picturesque landscape is adorned with a vegetable garden and a variety of citrus and fruit trees. The brick front porch is an ideal location for Spring/Summer alfresco dining by the serene koi pond or for crisp Fall/Winter nights by the crackling firepit. There is plenty of storage and room for toys, as well as accommodations for occasional overnight guests. In biking distance of UCR and Hunter Park Metrolink Station. Additionally it is a short drive to Downtown Riverside and freeway access. Don't miss this opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind property in Riverside.
