Even by Riverside standards, this one is special. Rebuilt from the ground up in 2013 by the owner, an architect, 234 Southcote Road is a rare find: a classic Riverside Craftsman, faithful to its original character, reimagined with every modern amenity you could dream of. Geothermal heating and cooling. Heated floors in the primary bath, the office, and the driveway. Steam shower. Surround sound. Whole house filtration. A feature list that reads like a love letter from stewards who never compromised quality. Because that is exactly what it is. Twenty-five years of meticulous, devoted ownership shows in every room, every detail, every threshold you cross. Set on an oversized 65x198 lot, the outdoor space alone is worth the trip. Mature, professional landscaping frames a yard that feels like a private retreat. Two decks off the back, a covered front porch with real limestone facade and Douglas Fir beadboard ceiling, and a sense of space that is increasingly rare in this community. Four bedrooms, three fully updated bathrooms, a huge expanded office, hardwood floors, and a location that needs no convincing: just minutes from downtown Riverside, the BNSF line, parks, playgrounds, shopping, restaurants, and top ranked schools. 234 Southcote Rd was crafted with intention, patience, and heart: a home deeply rooted in Riverside's architectural character, thoughtfully designed to live beautifully for decades to come.
