Welcome to a lovingly-restored 1898 Victorian cottage, straight out of a vintage storybook and located within the La Verne Street Historic District, one of Redlands' most cherished and walkable neighborhoods. This special enclave is part of the historic Altadena Tract - Redlands' first subdivision - offering a rare opportunity to own a meaningful piece of the city's architectural legacy. Inside, restored hardwood floors, picture rail molding, and wide cased openings with period trim highlight the home's Victorian roots, while abundant natural light enhances the warm, inviting layout. Two comfortable bedrooms are located on the main level, with a sunlit loft offering flexible use as a third bedroom, home office, or creative retreat. The dining room is a standout, featuring original built-in cabinetry with crown molding, classic picture rail trim, and a distinctive architectural chimney breast that adds depth and historic character. The space connects seamlessly to the living room, creating an ideal flow for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen blends farmhouse charm with modern function, offering a farmhouse sink, subway tile backsplash, and thoughtful updates, while dual pane windows throughout provide comfort and energy efficiency. The remodeled bathroom fully embraces the home's historic soul, showcasing a classic clawfoot tub with vintage-style brass exposed plumbing, period-inspired fixtures, and timeless tilework that balances old-world character with contemporary convenience. Situated on a rare oversized lot with R2 zoning, the outdoor space offers exceptional versatility "” room for toys, RV or boat parking, future expansion, or potential ADU conversion (buyer to verify). A detached garage adds additional flexibility for storage or future use. All of this is just a short stroll to South Redlands and Downtown, surrounded by award-winning schools and boutique food and shopping, with easy access to Prospect Park, Smiley Library, the Redlands Bowl, local shops, restaurants, and year-round community events. This is a rare chance to own not just a home, but a true chapter of Redlands history, thoughtfully preserved and ready for its next story.
