About this home

Step into a defining piece of Riverside’s heritage, the Henry M Streeter House, a designated Riverside Historic Landmark (No. 88), built in 1888. Henry M Streeter, one of Riverside’s most influential figures, the state legislator who authored the bill establishing Riverside County in 1893. Local architect and builder Henry A Westbrook constructed the house. The New England farmhouse was part of a 80-acre farm. The last working farm in Riverside until the 1980’s, the farmer still used a horse and plow. This exquisite historic Landmark property now sits on a 1-acre lot. The house, lovingly restored by the current owners was transformed into a beloved tea house. Today this lovely farmhouse is a family dwelling surrounded by mature trees, an assortment of fruit trees, raised vegetable beds and lush vegetation. It has a Riverside Schedule WA-12 Agricultural Service permit. A charming green house to nourish plants or used as a gorgeous she-shed to treat friends. A schoolhouse-style shed in its own playground for the younger ones to explore. Enjoy fun-filled afternoons by the cowboy pool and starlit evenings in your fully fenced and gated sanctuary. Ingress and egress access connects two streets complete with automatic entry for convenience and privacy. Historic architecture blends with modern comforts, upgraded plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems. A commercial grade kitchen ideal for hosting large groups inside or at the large farmhouse table under the gazebo. Two newly renovated ADU’s, each with its own plant-filled gazebo to relax under, make it ideal as a family compound. They could be rented out or used as Air B&B.
