710 Prospect Avenue

The coveted location alone makes this Riverside area home an exceptional find, but there is so much more waiting beyond the sun-dappled front yard and charmingly shingled faade. Follow the brick walkway and open the door to reveal hardwood floors, fresh paint and sunny rooms. The brightest of all is the vaulted, skylit, corner family room, which opens to a deck and freeform pool. One of the benefits of an established neighborhood is that the backyard is rimmed with mature trees for a totally private outdoor experience. A bay window over the kitchen sink also enjoys a view of the pool. While some updating is due, the expanded kitchens workspace is generous and a door to the garage is certainly handy after a run to the store. Spanning the depth of the house, the living room is sized for entertaining and has a traditional fireplace as the centerpiece. Upstairs, three corner bedrooms, including the primary suite with private bath, all have hardwood floors. A large upstairs laundry room is an unexpected perk with potential for creative use. The full basement can fulfill any desire for extra casual living space. Customizing the finishes throughout the functional floor plan is well worth the investment on a lakeside street such as this, where luxury living is the norm. Some photos are virtually staged.
