Welcome to a glimpse of history in the city of Redlands Ca.Founded in 1881 and incorporated in 1888, Redlands was once the largest producer of Washington Navel Oranges in the world. Its scenic State Street and Smiley Heights neighborhood adorns historic buildings and homes.
This fully restored Victorian gem, originally constructed in 1893 has over 3400 sqft with 4 beds and 4 baths. Situated on a 1.35 acre farm estate, its 12 month meticulous reconstruction and attention to detail are evident in every corner of this property. It includes a delightful revitalized pool, a versatile barn, and a guest office with attached storage that could be converted into an ADU.
Step inside, and you'll be transported to a bygone era. With its 10 foot high ceilings, intricate woodwork, original weighted windows, and cozy fireplaces, it exudes a warmth that is as timeless as it is inviting.
From the refinished original hardwood flooring and breakfast nook, to the Bianco Carrara Italian Marble counter tops and custom built cabinetry, the kitchen encompasses the perfect contrast where old meets new.
For those with an appreciation of history, the billiards room pays homage to Teddy Roosevelt, a man who valued tradition and progress. It's the ideal space to find inspiration and focus.
Upstairs, you'll find four spacious bedrooms that provide the perfect retreat at the end of the day. The bathrooms radiate a freshly done look infused with a splash of mid 18th century charm.
Step outside into the beautifully landscaped yard, where you can enjoy al fresco dining, relax in the shade of mature trees, dip in the fully restored swing pool and savor the beauty of the Washington Navel orange grove that surrounds you.
This property boasts a 150 tree working orange grove meticulously maintained and expected to start producing this next growing season.
As the 150 Washington navels reach maturity, there's an exciting opportunity to generate income by hiring a stem and leaf salesman to harvest and sell the bountiful fruit. This transforms the space into a thriving working farm, offering both a picturesque setting and a potential source of revenue through the fruitful harvest. Whether you're rocking on the porch, tending to your oranges, or exploring the rich history of Redlands, this Victorian farm home promises a unique living experience that embraces both the past and the present.
