About this Property
A rare opportunity to own a true piece of Riverside history. Designed by renowned architect Henry L. A. Jekel, this spectacular Spanish Mission Revival residence is ideally situated in the heart of the Downtown Historic District of Riverside. Architecturally significant and rich in character, the home showcases two dramatic rotundas, inlaid parquet flooring, arched glass pocket doors, and an impressive 14-foot barrel ceiling. Period details abound, including leaded glass cupboard doors, a sun-filled solarium, and a stunning stained-glass bedroom ceiling. An enchanting detached casita adds flexibility and charm—ideal for guests, a studio, or a private retreat. While preserving its historic integrity, the property has been thoughtfully modernized with copper plumbing, updated electrical systems, granite countertops, and two tankless water heaters for efficiency and comfort. Jekel-designed homes are rarely available, making this an exceptional offering for the discerning buyer who appreciates architectural pedigree and Riverside’s rich heritage. This is more than a home—it is a legacy property. Schedule your private showing today.
