2988 Brockton Avenue

Built in 1905, this charming property is one of the early examples of a California Craftsman Bungalow. Born from the Arts and Crafts philosophy, this style has become a defining characteristic of early 20th-century residential architecture. Thoughtful modifications over the years have greatly enhanced its livability such as introducing a primary suite, a spacious kitchen, and a dedicated indoor laundry room. Throughout these changes the original details like the clinker brick fireplace, vaulted and beamed ceilings, and key historic wood-frame windows were not lost and still add warmth and character to the house. The dining room has a set of french doors that lead out to a private patio. This patio faces south so it receives plenty of sunlight filtered through the citrus trees that run along the southern property line. There is also a covered patio that provides shade to the home and makes for another great entertaining space. Other advantages more practical in nature are the lot size and accessibility. With the many fruit trees and green lawn, it feels like a miniature private park. This small subdivision was called Crescent Avenue and is part of Fairmount Heights. Positioned just minutes from the active cultural core of Downtown Riverside, the scenic lakes of Fairmount Park, and the beautiful trails of Mount Rubidoux, this turnkey bungalow has easy access to an active, modern lifestyle.
