2609 Carlton Place

Carlton Place – Once home to Riverside scholar Robert P. Anderson, this enchanting Tudor Revival residence was built in 1925 at the height of the Roaring Twenties. Designed with distinction and crafted with luxury in mind, the home commands a subtle, elevated corner lot with sweeping views of the famed Victoria Club. The landscaped grounds are a true delight, with graceful white crape myrtles, Chinese elms, and a stately jacaranda tree. Along the hillside, vibrant yellow bougainvillea, blue plumbago, and lantana intermingle with classic white roses, creating year-round beauty. The quarter-acre lot is fully fenced, offering privacy with neighbors on only one side. As one of Riverside’s rare “through lots,” the property provides versatile space for guest parking, RV storage, an ADU, or even a pool. Inside, the home retains its timeless character while offering thoughtful updates for modern living. The floor plan reflects the purposeful design of the period—each space created with function, comfort, and charm. Recent renovations have been completed with a keen respect for the home’s heritage, blending original details with carefully chosen upgrades. Enhancements include: a newer roof, dual-zoned HVAC with heat pump, new plumbing and electrical systems, upgraded 200-amp panel with EV charging, water softener, newer water heater, and insulation throughout. The interiors feature refinished hardwood floors, restored architectural paneling, original windows and doors, tastefully remodeled bathrooms, and a beautifully updated kitchen. The primary suite boasts heated bathroom floors and a skylight with automated venting. Additional conveniences include reverse-osmosis water filtration, new plaster walls, fresh paint and wallpaper, a storage shed, landscaped grounds with automated irrigation, a spacious basement for storage, a newly rewired garage with sub-panel, and an automated entry gate for ease and security. Located within the sought-after Poly High School district, this distinguished home is more than a residence—it is a treasured piece of Riverside history, ready to be enjoyed and preserved by its next steward.
