About this House

ALESSANDRO HEIGHTS - SUNSET RIDGE

Perched along the rolling ridges of Hawarden Hill, this exceptionally well-appointed residence offers a rare blend of late mid-century contemporary design and sophisticated modern updates. The experience begins at the secure, gate-guarded entrance, where a private hillside drive leads you to this thoughtfully remodeled home.

Inside, the layout embraces a soft contemporary aesthetic, featuring a sunken living room anchored by a fireplace, a formal dining room, and an expanded kitchen designed for those who love to cook and entertain. The upper level houses three bedrooms, including a primary suite that serves as a true retreat. It features a private balcony overlooking the arroyo, a walk-in closet, and an ensuite bath with double sinks and a spacious shower.

Outdoor living is a central theme here, with two distinct private areas to enjoy. The front courtyard provides a secluded space for al fresco dining, while the covered back patio and yard offer a peaceful vantage point to take in the natural open space and seasonal stream. The southeast-facing orientation is a major plus, providing beautiful morning light while protecting the home from the intense afternoon sun.

Practicality meets comfort with an indoor laundry room and an oversized two-car garage equipped with built-in storage and attic access. The community itself feels like a resort, offering two separate pools and spas, a tennis court, and an expansive grass park area.

Located within easy reach of the University of California Riverside, Downtown, and a variety of premier shopping and recreation facilities, this home represents a competively valued standout opportunity in one of Riverside’s most desirable hillside enclaves!
We estimate this home will sell faster than 95% nearby.
