Property Description

Own an extraordinary part of Redlands history with this Beautiful Craftsman home. Built in 1910, received a Heritage award in 2002 from the Redlands Area Historical Society. The 1.1 acre property is accessed by two entrances that serve the long, semi-circular drive. Marking one entrance is “Charlie’s Fruits” stand (named after the present owners’ daughter). This Redlands tradition has earned many local kids their allowances over the years by selling excess produce from the property. This property boasts figs, avocados, persimmons, pomegranates, oranges, and lemons. Featuring 3 large bedrooms with original wood flooring. Make your way into the house walking up the grand outdoor staircase. The living room features a working fireplace, beamed ceilings, built-in bookcases, and original wainscot. The formal dining room features a built-in buffet with leaded glass doors. A private study room with its own powder room and closet can be a 4th bedroom. The room has several custom bookcases and is perfect for an office or den/library. The kitchen is large and open with a breakfast nook. On the second floor are 3 large bedrooms and a retreat. The rock-lined basement is large and open. The side patio area, covered by tall, mature trees, makes it ideal for socializing and entertaining. The upper access has a driveway that leads to a 2-car detached garage. Partially hidden by the lush vegetation is a charming gazebo, reminiscent of the life that was led here over 100 years ago.
