Opportunity awaits in Riverside's desirable Magnolia Center neighborhood! Built in 1908 and situated on a generously sized lot, this charming cottage offers character, a convenient location, and plenty of potential for its next owner to reimagine and improve. The home features 2 bedrooms, a spacious living area, a classic kitchen, and a rear laundry/utility room. A small utility basement, accessible only from the exterior, houses the water heater and provides limited additional storage. Outside, the expansive lot provides ample off-street parking, a portico-style covered carport, and a large backyard with exciting possibilities for outdoor living, gardening, a pool, or potential future ADU improvements. The exterior has also been recently painted. Ready for renovation and offered as an opportunity to add value, this property may be an excellent fit for an owner-occupant looking to create a home of their own or an investor seeking a project in an established Riverside neighborhood. Conveniently located near Central and Arlington Avenues with easy access to the 91 Freeway, the property is close to Brockton Arcade, Riverside Plaza, and many of Riverside's most recognizable destinations, including Victoria Avenue, Mount Rubidoux, the Mission Inn, and Downtown Riverside. Nearby K-12 schools add to the convenience of this centrally located Riverside property.
