In a prominent location in Riverside, this architect-expanded home is planned for multi-generational living with ease. Its thoughtful design guarantees that natural light reaches throughout the house, thanks to high-angled ceilings and carefully placed clerestory windows to maximize the sun. In addition to the main living quarters, there is an in-law suite complete with a kitchen, bathroom, living and dining areas, laundry, and a greenhouse all looking out to the English-style backyard garden. The option of opening a former staircase to allow access to the main part of the house would be a straightforward task, or keep the suite private with its barn-style entrance near the 2 car garage. A European kitchen was added to the main part of the home with a sunroom that functions beautifully as a casual gathering room when not entertaining in the living and dining rooms. The main bedroom offers a private bath, along with walk-in and cedar closets. A cheerful updated hall bathroom serves the other bedrooms on this floor. Upstairs there is a large family/bonus room, easily convertible to a bedroom, and a tucked away tower study with distant seasonal views of Lake Carnegie.The studio loft addition, under the main gable above the living room, offers dramatic views throughout the house and will certainly inspire. Round this off with basement storage and a recreation room to tuck the toys away. With so much to love both inside and out, the architect truly found the sweet spot for this lifecycle design in creating this sophisticated home!
