Towering trees, botanical gardens, and inspired design embody this midcentury ranch, with modern elements, built in 1958 by Southern California architect William Bray. Situated on over a half-acre corner lot of park-like grounds with a horseshoe driveway, meandering paths, and a private in-ground pool. Located in one of Riverside’s most sought after neighborhoods, Whitegate in Hawarden Hills, this single story home offers beautiful architectural elements such as the pitched overhang at the entry, wood beamed ceiling, and an expansive deck that over looks the back grounds. The entry is dramatic with a pitched roof and wood beams covering the front porch. The interior rivals the exterior with the continued wood beamed ceiling, wood flooring, fireplace, views of the back in the living room and dining room area. The galley style kitchen complements the style and offers ample counter and cabinet space while providing the perfect corner for a breakfast nook. A separate family room just off the kitchen offers a wall of storage and a sliding glass door for access to the wood deck. There are 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a office or art studio, greenhouse, and basement-like storage under the back of the house. This wonderfully unique home has been recognized on home and garden tours and has been wonderfully maintained and upgraded without compromising the original design. Truly a private oasis that celebrates Southern California living and entertaining any time of year.
