This diminutive yet delightful home is on a corner lot in the heart of the historical Wood Streets neighborhood. Kitchen opens up to the living room and dining room combo, with a slider to the back patio for Al fresco dining. The price reflects the need for cosmetic updating like carpeting and paint, but the water-wise landscaping is already established, complete with mature orange tree! The backyard is completely fenced, and the 2-car garage is attached with direct house access. The finishing touches will be up to you. Great location. .. .walking distance to RCC and Central Middle School, and a short drive to the Riverside Plaza or the farmer's market and other exciting features of downtown Riverside.
