Description

Welcome to the Jarvis House, an iconic 1887 Victorian masterpiece located in the heart of Downtown Riverside’s Evergreen Historic District. Designated as Riverside City Landmark Number 78, this rare gem is a true testament of Victorian era craftsmanship. With only three owners in its 138-year history, the Jarvis House has been meticulously preserved, maintaining its historic charm. Boasting 7 bedrooms and 4 fireplaces, this grand residence spans three stories of beautifully preserved living space. Step inside and be captivated by the inviting entrance hall, featuring a stately winding staircase and intricate woodwork that sets the tone for the home’s historic character. The first floor includes an elegant parlor and formal living room, a spacious formal dining room, a modernized kitchen, laundry, a full hall bath and half bath off the back porch. Upstairs, you’ll find generously sized bedrooms, two with original coal burning fireplaces. The exterior is just as impressive, offering four distinct covered porches, an outdoor kitchen, a cozy covered seating area, and beautifully crafted hardscaping and landscaping. The original carriage house, brimming with potential, could be transformed into a charming guesthouse. Whether relaxing in one of the inviting outdoor spaces or hosting memorable gatherings, you’ll always have the perfect setting to enjoy the beautiful Southern California weather. Located near the base of Mt. Rubidoux, the Jarvis House is just moments from hiking trails, parks, and the vibrant entertainment of Downtown Riverside. This home also qualifies for the Mills Act, providing significant property tax savings for its next owner. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this extraordinary piece of Riverside’s history. The Jarvis House is more than just a home—it’s a landmark legacy waiting to become yours. Schedule your private showing today!

Not only is the scenery beautiful but it's family oriented, safe to walk at night, and the schools are amazing. the homes are vintage and have won Neighborhood of the Year many times.

Also very close to unique and artistic park where you could walk to Rubidoux Mountain. R'mountain is a grate place to hike many go up for a nice fresh view up the mountain to see the city lights and unique view. And if your not a walker you could always go though the Santana Bike trail and test your self how far you could go. It's an active location and could always find something to do; with friendly a neighborhood everybody is welcomed "
