If you’re a savvy buyer/investor who has been paying close attention to what’s happening with the Downtown Redlands real estate market, then this opportunity may be for you. This unique property sits on a spacious quarter-acre lot on a charming street with a few of the most iconic, historic Victorian homes in town. Ours is a modest yet aesthetically pleasing architectural mashup with Victorian and craftsman features. I’m going to shoot straight with you. This home is going to be an exciting yet major project for someone. It needs more than a mere update. It is longing for the right buyers to bring this place back to its original beauty and charm. And it offers its new caretaker a beautiful storybook life-setting in exchange.
It has uniquely high ceilings on the main level, wooden floors that need to be restored, original windows, an updated full bathroom, mostly original vintage: light fixtures, hardware, doors, and moldings. It has huge double pocket doors that lead you from the living room to the grand dining area and the kitchen is large enough for a proper modernized update. There are three bedrooms on the main level. Upstairs, you’ll find two more legal bedrooms that are better described as attic multi-purpose rooms. These creative spaces would be a great for a home office, studio, a hobby room, or simply left as bedrooms.
There are about 10 mature and bountiful fruit trees in the backyard. There’s also an original barn-style garage and an and attached storage area. There’s plenty of room for an ADU, a swimming pool, gardens, and you can even bring your chickens if you wanted to. This property has so many possibilities to consider that it’s giving me a headache as I write this description. That’s why we’re inviting everyone to come see it in person at its premiere Open House on Sunday, August 13th between 12 noon and 3:00 PM. Serious buyers - bring your checkbook and your imagination. This place is truly something special! Note: It is walking distance to the shops and restaurants in the hip and improved Downtown Redlands scene, 2 blocks from the prestigious University of Redlands and several other distinguished schools nearby.
BONUS: This gem also has a large, mostly unfinished basement.
