A rare opportunity to own a piece of history! This home was featured as part of the 1934 "Century of Progress" World's Fair, designed to showcase modern architectural designs, experimental materials and new technologies on display for more that 42,000,000 visitors. It was included in the International Exposition and later brought to Riverside, where "it" found its permanent home. This home encompasses a unique modern-style & open-concept living with more space than you could imagine. This solidly built home of (literally) steel, covered by a weather resistant siding, consists of four (4) bedrooms, split between two levels & 3 full bathrooms. The main floor has an open concept kitchen, dining & living areas completely surrounded by windows, bringing in lots of natural sunlight. A first floor family room & office are a huge bonus with the flexibility to tailor each room as it would suit your family's needs. With two nice-sized bedrooms on the 2nd level, surrounded by gorgeous gardens and trees, you will feel like you're sleeping in a treehouse above an enchanted forest. Both rooms on the upper level are conjoined by a shared den, and another full bathroom. With three spaces outdoors, you can enjoy morning coffees on your front bistro patio, watch Riverside's notorious storms with a beverage of your choice under the covered front porch, or entertain larger gatherings on your rear deck. The exterior landscaping and gardens just enhance the original beauty of this classic piece of art! Basement is partially finished and used for storage and laundry only. It does have a sump pump and water-prevention membrane around the perimeter. Basement does not get water. Garage is being sold "as is."
