An extraordinary Spanish Colonial Revival home, designed by renowned architect Henry Jekel in 1928, this rare gem proudly stands as Riverside Cultural Heritage Board landmark #116 in the historic Wood Streets neighborhood. A breathtaking example of Jekel’s architectural legacy, the home is a testament to timeless craftsmanship, showcasing original Jekel stained glass windows, intricate wood detailing, and nearly all of its original windows and beautifully preserved accoutrements. Lovingly maintained and cherished by the current owner for over 30 years, and by generations before, this 3 bedroom (plus office which could be 4th bedroom), 3 bathroom residence is more than just a home — it is a living masterpiece, which remains an irreplaceable piece of Riverside’s architectural history. Quite simply, it defies comparison! Outside, the grounds are equally enchanting: a meandering pool winds gracefully through the property, complete with a charming footbridge, adding to this estate’s undeniable charm. A tapestry of mature landscaping including fruit trees, flowering parkway gardens, and lovingly curated flora frame the property with color, texture, and natural privacy. Modern convenience features include central air/heat (2019 furnace), blown-in insulation and weather stripping, whole house water softener, triple osmosis water filter, refinished hardwood flooring, ceiling fans, low-flow toilets and shower heads, security system, brand new variable pool pump and exterior paint, and one-yr-old garage roof. This property is already signed up under the Mills Act historic home tax saving program. This is a rare opportunity to own a landmark property that embodies elegance, heritage, and the enduring brilliance of Henry Jekel’s vision.
