Property Description
This creekside mid-century modern architectural original is steeped in historical and artistic significance. Designed in 1977 by a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, it sits right on the bank of the historic Mill Creek Zanja, built by the Serrano people in 1819 as an irrigation canal to provide water from Mill Creek for their farms and for the San Bernardino de Sena Estancia mission outpost. The Zanja is the oldest civil engineering project in Southern California, was designated a California Historical Landmark in 1932, and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. Owners will have riparian rights to this ever-flowing source of water. Two custom-built bridges lead over the creek to the front patio of the mid-century masterpiece. A breezeway separates the private guest suites from the main house and master and leads to a cozy back patio and hillside retreat. From the patio and deck, steps lead down to the creek bank. The property and creek are shaded by more than 150-year-old live oak and pine. Explore the grounds and discover a wild olive tree, oranges, and African sumac. Or sit and enjoy a peaceful afternoon by the water while you listen to the brook babbling over the rocks.
The exterior of the house is finished with beautiful historical redwood paneling. Large eaves are specifically designed to shade the original double-paned windows, providing respite from the sun and energy-efficient cooling. Inside the master section, there is an open-beam high ceiling and a central fireplace. Meanwhile, the living area features a period-appropriate drop ceiling in the mid-century modern style, offering a cozy atmosphere in which to relax at the end of the day. The kitchen is equipped with a gas range, original cabinets, and original Formica countertops. Prepare meals with a view of the creek. The master bedroom features a walk-in closet and a dressing/makeup table. The private guest suites are equipped with a shower. Other features include a covered garage and a side yard with a shed. The side yard is perfect for a potential garage or workshop. Hike or bike the Santa Ana River Trail, Crafton Hills Ridge Trail, Dump Trail, Gold Trail, and Regional Park Trail. Located at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains and within a short drive to Loma Linda University, Redlands Community Hospital, ESRI, and the University of Redlands.
