3556 Elmwood

In March of 1929, the Elmwood Tract No. 1 was a welcome addition to the Wood Streets neighborhood. It featured ornamental Marbelite lampposts, Portland cement sidewalks, curbs and gutters, 46 new lots, and a small neighborhood park. This home at 3556 Elmwood Drive was built the following year in the popular Spanish Revival style. Since then, the trees have grown into a mature canopy, the neighborhood has filled in, and these homes have transitioned from modern to classic vintage. What hasn’t changed is the appeal of this neighborhood, with its charming revival bungalows, great schools, and easy access to both Downtown Riverside and the thriving hub of Midtown. Inside, the home features a wonderful living room with fireplace that flows into the dining room through a decorative arched doorway. The kitchen has been beautifully remodeled to significantly expand the living and prep space, while the vintage bathroom has been thoughtfully preserved. The main house offers two bedrooms and one full bathroom, plus there is an additional detached studio in back with its own remodeled 3/4 bathroom. A private side yard with fruit trees and a two-car garage complete this quaint Wood Streets Spanish Revival.
