This home is incredibly well-cared for; the owners completely reshingled the exterior, refinished the original hardwood floors, & painted inside & out. This home couldn't be closer to Riverside's picturesque downtown, featuring restaurants & bars (try Sawmill for lunch & La Barra or The Chew Chew for dinner)! The community also boasts parks, libraries, top-rated private & public schools, the Riverside Swim Club, & so much more. You're also just a short walk from the Riverside Metra for a quick commute downtown. Welcome to your dream home!
