About 538 E Riverview
Welcome to 538 E Riverview Ave — a fully renovated 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 2,841 SF two-story home in a quiet Orange neighborhood, minutes from the 57 and 55 freeways. Built in 1966 and comprehensively updated from top to bottom, this home delivers rare architectural character paired with modern luxury finishes throughout.
The living room commands immediate attention with a dramatic soaring cathedral ceiling featuring exposed dark wood beams set against a crisp white shiplap ceiling- a stunning architectural detail that creates an open, grand atmosphere few homes can match. A floor-to-ceiling stacked stone accent fireplace anchors the space, while wide-plank luxury vinyl plank flooring flows seamlessly through the main level. Large gable-end windows flood the room with natural light.
The fully remodeled kitchen showcases new dark espresso cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large island with bar seating, and a striking mosaic glass-and-stone tile backsplash. The open-concept layout connects directly to the living and dining areas — ideal for entertaining at any scale.
The dining room features a dramatic floor-to-ceiling board-and-batten wainscoting accent wall in deep charcoal. The primary suite carries the same bold designer wainscoting treatment, with plush carpet, ceiling fan, and a fully remodeled en-suite bath. All three bathrooms are renovated — one with large-format dark gray tile, decorative mosaic border strip, and frameless glass shower; a second with travertine tile and dark wood vanity with stone countertop; a third with updated finishes and glass enclosure.
The spacious bonus room with LVP flooring is perfect for a media room, home gym, or multigenerational living. Dedicated laundry room with upper cabinetry. The 3-car attached garage features epoxy floors and custom built-in white cabinetry. The private backyard offers a flat full grass lawn with brick-edged perimeter beds and block wall fencing- ready for entertaining or play.
Major upgrades: 20-panel owned solar system (2024), new electrical panel (2023), new roof (2020), new exterior paint and stucco (2020). Zoned for top-rated Orange Unified School District including Villa Park High School.

Estimate only, not a loan offer or quote. Principal and interest use the Freddie Mac 30-year fixed average of 7.40% (week of Oct 15, 2026); your rate will differ. A loan this size is typically a jumbo loan, which prices differently. Tax and insurance are modelled, not billed amounts; tax uses a typical Orange rate, excluding Mello-Roos. Verify all figures.
