This graceful vintage home on 4.25 acres with an orange grove provides the chance
of a lifetime to raise your family in a quiet, wholesome, rural lifestyle in a
convenient suburban location. A prestigious Redlands address is the setting for
this turn of the century Craftsman inspired home. Walk up the front steps to the
inviting covered wrap around front porch that provides the opportunity to relax
and enjoy the gorgeous views of the snow-capped mountain peaks in the winter.
Enter through the impressive oak and beveled glass front door to the formal entry
parlor with built-in benches, bookcases, and a grand stairwell. You’ll appreciate the
stunning craftsman woodwork and details throughout, including wide door and
window moldings and a built-in buffet in the dining room with leaded glass inserts
and vintage hardware. Impressive solid hardwood paneled pocket doors can be
utilized to separate the living room, dining room and entry. The living room boasts
the original gas lamp with globes which has been converted to electricity. Plentiful
storage abounds on both floors with linen closets, drawers and even a laundry
chute! Take a look at the full attic with stairs leading to the top floor – perfect for
extra storage or convert into additional living space. The farm style kitchen has an
adjacent butler’s pantry – the original 1930’s stove has been re-fitted and is
included in the sale. In addition, there are four roomy bedrooms, an office or den
on the main level (or a 5th bedroom), two bathrooms, a formal dining room and a spacious living room
along with the entry parlor. There’s also a large semi-enclosed patio adjacent to the
kitchen, perfect for sipping coffee in the mornings. There’s even a root/gardening
cellar! Outside you’ll find 4.25 acres of endless possibilities. The picturesque turn
of the century two story barn has upgraded wiring and an incredible hay loft
complete with hay baling hooks and hardware, easily accessible from the street
which means it can also be utilized as a garage. The original orange grove was
replaced with hybrid navel oranges in 2001. In addition, there are other fruit trees,
bulbs and flowers throughout the property. Note: FIVE WATER SHARES ARE
INCLUDED WITH THE SALE! This property has been in the same family for over
twenty years and is in need of some repairs and upgrading to bring this gem to its
former glory. This is your opportunity to own a piece of history and create your own
paradise.
