4450 4th St, Riverside, CA 92501

Welcome to this 1910 Craftsman home located in the Colony Heights Historic District of Downtown Riverside. This neighborhood is characterized by shady tree lined streets, historic homes representing a variety of architectural styles and despite being in the core of the city is quite quiet! This property is a historic home lover's dream. The original integrity of the home has been maintained for over a century while necessary updates have been undertaken such as earthquake retrofitting, a 200 amp panel, updated hvac and even paid-for solar panels. This home is deceptively large, appearing to be a quaint bungalow from the street but actually featuring over 3000 sqft of living space, 4 bedrooms with an additional study and plenty of yard space. My favorite aspect of the home is the beautiful woodwork and stenciling that line the main living spaces. This is one of a few craftsman homes I've seen that feature these details in such good condition, the value of which shouldn't be underestimated. Finally, this home was designed by arguably the most prolific and well known of all Riverside architects, G. Stanley Wilson. It is an excellent example of his early residential work before Spanish Revival and the designs of his employee, Peter Weber, dictated the future of architecture in Riverside. The home is already under the Historic Property Tax Program, Mills Act which will save you significantly on your property tax liability.
