Description

Welcome to this well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home nestled in the heart of the highly sought-after Canyon Crest neighborhood of Riverside. With just under 1,600 sq ft of living space, this home offers comfort, potential, and location all in one.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the excellent curb appeal and pride of ownership throughout. A newer HVAC system was installed just a few years ago, and the dual-pane windows—while not brand new—add energy efficiency and comfort. The exterior shines, and the home has been lovingly cared for over the years.
One of the standout features of this property is the oversized RV parking area—fully equipped with power, water, and sewer hookups. Whether you own a motorhome, trailer, or fifth wheel, there’s ample space to accommodate just about any size rig with ease.
Step into the backyard and take in the beautiful views, offering a peaceful and private setting perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
Inside, the home retains much of its original character and charm. While some areas may benefit from a light cosmetic update, it’s truly a canvas for your personal touch. With strong bones and a functional layout, the possibilities are endless.
This is a rare opportunity to live in one of Riverside’s most desirable communities, known for its scenic surroundings, friendly neighbors, and exceptional schools—Castle View Elementary, Gage Middle School, and the prestigious Poly High School.

Don’t miss your chance to make this Canyon Crest classic your own!

It’s nice to walk around the shopping center. there is a local dog groomer that is priced well, they leave water outside to passers by, and the apartment complexes nearby keep their grounds well. We have two small pugs and they enjoy the area. There is a large park called andulka, just down the street that is a couple blocks long, and they usually host special events there. "
