About this single-family home
Tucked along Riverside’s most scenic and historically significant boulevard, this extraordinary property on Victoria Avenue blends timeless charm with rare agricultural potential. Set on the original site of the Victoria Avenue Schoolhouse and surrounded by 50+ acres of neighboring citrus groves, this two-story residence is part of a legacy landscape designed in 1892 by famed landscape architect Franz Philip Hosp and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A gated entry welcomes you into a private oasis where heritage eucalyptus trees and hand-carved architectural details speak to the property’s deep roots. The circular drive—anchored by a stately tree and flanked with vintage farm equipment—leads to four-car garage with a remarkable 59 solar panels (PAID OFF system), delivering energy efficiency and long-term sustainability. Complete privacy with the adjacent 50+ acre parcel with citrus groves and panoramic views. Inside, the home is rich in character. Terra-cotta tile flooring graces the lower level, where a spacious living room with a fireplace invites cozy gatherings. The oversized primary suite offers privacy and retreat-like comfort. Upstairs, original hardwood floors, crown molding, built-in bookshelves, and a second fireplace add elegance and warmth to the living spaces. The property’s 115+/- mature citrus trees (Ruby red grapefruit, cara cara navels, Washington navels, eureka & Meyer lemons, satsuma mandarins, & so much MORE).... are nourished by an automatic drip irrigation system, offering both beauty and bounty. Outdoors, enjoy a newly upgraded heat pump for the sparkling pool, perfect for entertaining under the California sun. Stroll the manicured pathways to a peaceful gazebo—ideal for morning coffee or quiet reflection amid the lush greenery. Zoned RA-5 (with discount ag water meter), this home offers exciting possibilities for agricultural use, or multigenerational living—all in a setting steeped in local history and framed by blooming roses, palm-lined medians, and mountain views. This is more than a home—it’s a living chapter of Riverside’s past and future. Experience the harmony of nature, heritage, and refined living along the one and only Victoria Avenue.
