Happiness lives here! If you’ve been searching for the one home that checks absolutely all of the boxes, your quest is over. Let’s start with the beautifully paved and tree lined driveway at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in one of the most coveted neighborhoods in Riverside. An elegant façade greets you at the top of the drive and beckons you inside. The turret style entry is both grand and welcoming with its cathedral ceiling and custom travertine flooring bathed in natural light from above. From there you’ll be drawn into the formal living and dining rooms, and your first impressions of the idyllic grounds and sweeping views of mountains, valley and twinkling city lights, which can be seen from many different vantage points of this wonderful home. Moving into the expansive family room that opens into the less formal dining area and kitchen that fulfils every chef’s dream, you will instantly picture yourself sharing many special occasions with family and friends. There is a generous bedroom downstairs with its own bath, an office that may alternately be used as a crafting room or bedroom, extra storage in the powder room, and a spacious laundry room. Upstairs in the master suite, enjoy the best views from your private balcony or while relaxing in the jetted tub next to the passthrough fireplace. Three more ample bedrooms with two full baths are just on the other side of a roomy loft; the perfect place for more intimate gatherings, theater/gaming or quiet reflection. Even though you’re already feeling right at home by now, one step outside and you will never want to leave. An acre of mostly level land has been transformed into a very private resort-like playground where there is fun to be had no matter the age. The saltwater pool with Baja shelf and waterfall spa is eye catching and inviting with so many delightful areas to relax, including a firepit and BBQ island. Don’t miss the other side of this incredible yard with raised garden beds, storage shed, 2-story playhouse and zipline! All of this and more are waiting for you to come and make it your very own happy place.
