Sitting at the corner of picturesque Victoria Avenue and Maude Street is the iconic Hartree Grove Estate built in 1892 for Hamlet Philpot. The home was named by its second owner, Herman Wilson, after a family castle in Scotland. The oldest continuously occupied home in Riverside was originally a plain six-room adobe constructed on a ten-acre newly planted orange grove shortly after the construction of the Gage Canal. Designated as Cultural Heritage Board Landmark No. 82, this historic estate now sits on 1.22 acres and has received several additions over its 131-year-old history. This example of the English architectural style called “Mock Tudor” has over 3,000 square feet of living space, including 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms on the main floor. The foyer with high ceilings separates the living and dining rooms as you enter, and both have a fireplace. The wood paneled library provides a view towards Victoria Avenue and looks out over the gardens. Upstairs was originally the maid’s room, and now makes for a perfect home office. The two wings of the house provide for a wraparound screened porch at the rear of the property. A quaint recently renovated guest cottage sits adjacent to the main home and offers a living area, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Explore the grounds and find a pool and spa, gazebo, pond, numerous rare plant species, meandering paths, and of course, orange trees. This home is on the market for only the second time in the last 100+ years and provides a unique opportunity to restore this piece of Riverside history. Due to the condition of the property, financed offers will not be considered.
