8873 Gumtree Welcome to the Neighborhood! A highly desirable OrangeCrest beauty w/great schools & parks close by. It is a large 2 story home with one of the area's largest flat lots, in one of the finest communities of Riverside. This air conditioned, spacious residence welcomes visitors in grand fashion, beginning with a tile entrance, carpeted living room/dining room accented with very high vaulted ceilings and an abundance of windows w/natural light. The tile entry also leads you to the informal area past a ground floor office (perfect for guests or relatives) before opening up to the back portion of the home which runs the full width of plan. It is comprised of an updated island kitchen w/quartz countertops, ample cabinetry, grill top range, microwave and a nook area that flows into the family room with a brick fireplace. It makes for a California type room which overlooks & offers access to a huge flat backyard w/large patio area, making it great for entertaining. The ground floor also has a full bath & laundry room and direct access to a 3 car garage. Back to the entrance, which is further enhanced with a beautiful dark wood banister framing a sweeping staircase that continues upstairs along the balcony area and passes by the master suite, 2 additional bedrooms, full bath & ends with a huge bonus room, all while overlooking the entrance area that welcomes the morning sun! In its totality it is a functional floor plan absent twists and turns. I feel it is one of the better flowing plans in the area.
