Looking for that rare opportunity in the wonderful Wood Streets area of Riverside? Then I have the property for you.
Samuel L Wright was just a small boy when he traveled from Ohio to the then small village of Riverside in 1873. Until 1888 he assisted his father in the management of Orange Groves and from that time until 1890 he was employed as Zanjero with the Riverside water company. On April 30, 1890 he married Miss Aletha Curl and became the father of five children. In 1899 he devoted his time to the development of his own Orange Grove of 10 acres right here in Riverside. It was right there in the SL Wright subdivision that Samuel built this great residence in 1920. It really is “The Bee’s Knees” and has plenty of room for whatever you desire.
The large front covered porch is perfect for hanging with your favorite "flappers" and "dappers" while playing your favorite roaring 20’s jazz. As you enter the home you’ll be greeted with a spacious and dramatic formal entry with 10 foot ceilings. Look to your left and you have a large living room with a corner fireplace, bay window and 10 foot ceilings. Also to the left is a full bedroom currently being used as a game room with a separate entrance. To the right you’ll find a huge formal dining room with custom built in china cabinet, French doors that exit to the side patio area, as well as plenty of room for entertaining all of your guests. Through the dining room, is the spacious kitchen with it’s equally spacious walk-in pantry. There’s also a laundry room and a private bathroom and shower with access to the back yard. As you traverse back through the formal entry to head upstairs, check out the large full bath with built in storage cabinets, and private water closet. Upstairs you’ll find 4 bedrooms, a bathroom and a large “sitting room”, perfect for use as a den, family room or TV room. One of the bedrooms upstairs is large enough to be used currently as a workout room. The seller has utilized the sitting room and 2 of the bedrooms as a Master Suite, using one of the bedrooms as a huge walk-in closet. Do you like to entertain? There’s plenty of room for your guests to park in the long driveway that leads back past the carport to the oversized 2-car detached garage that also has plenty of room for storage, a workshop or parking for your Motorcycle.
