Description

Welcome to 4648 Merrill Ave in the historic Magnolia Center neighborhood of Riverside with ADU potential! City has approved plans for a 2 bed, 1 bath, detached ADU to be built in backyard. The updated traditional bungalow home features 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom and sits on a 6,534 sq.ft. lot. As you enter the home, you'll notice rich hardwood floors, Plantation shutters, an upgraded fireplace, and an open floor plan. The dining area offers a beautiful view of the well-manicured and expansive backyard through the French doors. The kitchen has been remodeled with newer shaker cabinets, stone countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The primary bedroom boasts a beautiful built-in closet system with plenty of storage. The fully upgraded bathroom includes a standing soak tub, stone walk-in shower, and a new vanity. In the second bedroom, you'll find a gorgeous bay window with plantation shutters and a view of the surrounding neighborhood. The property has ample space for an ADU behind the home, a 2 car detached garage that also has potential to be converted to an ADU, and RV parking with the long driveway and iron security gate. The Magnolia Center neighborhood has been part of the City of Riverside since its establishment in 1883. Considered a second downtown, it offers exciting entertainment options such as live music on the Riverside Plaza Main Street, fine dining, and plenty of shopping.

(Which you only get 1 visitor pass) numerous cars have been vandalized and HOA does nothing about it..."
