Overflowing with charm and nestled in the heart of Riverside, this classic bungalow perfectly blends historic character with modern updates. From the moment you step inside, you'll love the original inlaid hardwood floors, cozy fireplace, sun-soaked sunroom, and sweet breakfast nook—details that make this home feel truly special.
Behind the charm, the heavy lifting has already been done: Carrier HVAC with transferable 7-year warranty (2022), brand new water heater (April 2025), Nest thermostat, and updated electrical wiring. The entire drain line to the street was replaced by JEA (2019), and mature shade trees help keep monthly utility bills around $250 at their peak—including electric, water, and sewer.
Tucked on a quiet corner, this home offers the best of Riverside living—walkability, timeless appeal, and comfort. Enjoy an easy walk to King Street, a very short bike ride to both Murray Hill and Five Points, and quick access to I-10, I-95, and US-17. Come fall in love!
