This beautiful, 6-bedroom, 3-bath, 1930s-era Spanish mission-style home is rumored to be the former home of Hollywood star Mary Pickford. It sits on what some say is one the largest yards in Redlands, towered over by three, decades-old, 100 feet high pine trees, and is the largest lot on the block and a double-sized lot. The one room available is a renovated wine cellar converted into a bedroom, ideal for the romanticist. The room is steps away from the back door that opens to the pool. The home is a forty-five second walk to the University of Redlands, and from the front lawn you can see the Memorial Chapel and can at times hear chorale and classical music from the Chapel. Entering the home, you find a 1930s-era, mission-style, 14' vaulted ceiling, a fireplace with colorful Spanish tile, and a chandelier over a beautifully-scaled living room with a nine foot high, arched window that looks out to the front lawn. From there, you wander into the formal dining room that connects to a very large kitchen, with beautiful apricot toned cabinetry and modern, stainless steel appliances. The kitchen connects to a family room, sunlight filling both rooms through a phalanx of seventeen, period French windows. Looking through those windows you see a sparkling pool in the backyard, and on the east side of the home, a courtyard with a mini-grove of nine mature olive trees, Lantana trees and agave. The kitchen provides anyone-- who appreciates the finer things in life-- all the space they need. The six bedrooms and three full baths have all been newly painted. The master bedroom has direct access to a private bathroom, deck, the pool and hot tub. The home has central air conditioning and heat, professional landscaping and is situated on the largest lot (a double lot) in the immediate area. The property is completely enclosed by a block wall which adds to the home's beauty, security and privacy. You may, as we did, enjoy lunches under three large trees and dinner under the stars on the sprawling, manicured front lawn, and find exhilarating cool in the pool when temperatures rise. As for the location, it would be hard to find a more desirable place in the Inland Empire. Few would not enjoy this private oasis walking distance to jogging trails, theater, and the Redlands Memorial Chapel (home of the Redlands Symphony). This beautiful home is being leased on a per-room basis. The room available is a completely renovated, converted wine cellar that is off the kitchen and a few steps away from one of the entrances to the pool. For the last two years, we've selected mostly professional young women including a science teacher at a local private school, Ph.D students, and a post graduate medical student/resident. We're interested in creating a mini-community of like-minded, considerate people in the home so we try to be really selective and careful. We're looking for people who are at a place in their life where they would like to live in a beautiful space, and can help make it so with their energy, attitude and choices. There are many plants and trees on the property so garden lovers/caretakers are especially welcome! Finally, we are looking in the folks we select a comfortable level of emotional/intellectual maturity which often accompanies genuine consideration for others. We welcome the opportunity to get to know you better! :) Owner pays gardening and pool service. Tenants pay a portion of all other utilities.
