3014 Pine ST Riverside, CA 92501

Welcome to the extraordinary Harbor House, a stunning Normandy-style residence built in 1931 by the renowned architect Henry L.A. Jekel. This Riverside city landmark, designated as Structure of Merit #206, is steeped in history and rich in nautical details, reflecting the original vision of its creators. The home's design artfully incorporates maritime elements, such as a wood ceiling resembling the underbelly of a ship and a stained-glass porthole window named Plymouth Tower. The Viking-style stone fireplace still proudly displays its original painting, adding to the home's historic charm. The Harbor House is designed in a U-shaped layout that opens to a beautifully landscaped courtyard. The grand living room features massive cross beams, an original chandelier, and a soaring second-story ceiling. The formal dining room reveals handcrafted Oregon Pine built-ins created by Italian craftsmen, which conceal a hidden bar, perfect for entertaining. The primary ensuite occupies its own private wing on the first floor, complete with a sitting room, large remodeled bathroom, walk-in his-and-her closets, and a private patio entrance. Another guest room on the main floor also has a remodeled bathroom and a private entrance, offering both comfort and privacy. Upstairs, the second story is dedicated to its own primary ensuite, featuring a cedar-lined closet, working porthole windows, and a bathroom. The turret provides a charming space for an office or small library. Modern upgrades enhance the home while preserving its historic character, including a complete replumbing to copper and the installation of a whole-house water filtration system. Additionally, the electrical systems have been updated, and central air conditioning units have been installed. The property also includes two basements, one housing the home's operational equipment and the other designed for recreation, ideal for hosting parties or accommodating a pool table. The nearly half-acre property is a serene retreat, featuring mature landscaping, a flagstone patio courtyard, a gazebo, a small citrus orchard, and a groundskeeper's bathroom. As an added benefit, the property is currently on the Mills Act, providing significant savings on property taxes. The Harbor House is a true gem within the North Hills Historic District, ready to welcome its next fortunate owner.
