Property Description

A timeless Redlands classic at 1132 E. Citrus Ave., where vintage charm, versatile amenities, and room to breathe come together on one of the most compelling lots in the area. Nestled in a well-established neighborhood, this circa-1920 home offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and approximately 2,166 sq. ft. of warm, character-rich living space that tells a story the moment you walk through the door. The home underwent a major renovation in 2008, with approximately $250,000 invested in new plumbing, electrical, copper piping, waste lines, doors, windows, HVAC, and new siding on both the house and garage. Architectural details include original hardwood floors, abundant natural light, a welcoming floor plan, and the unmistakable craftsmanship that is difficult to replicate today. What truly sets this property apart is its extraordinary range of features on an oversized 12,772 sq. ft. lot. The detached two-car garage includes separate washer and dryer connections, plus a finished bedroom and bathroom above with its own patio. This approximately 400 sq. ft. space offers excellent flexibility as a recreation room, office, study, guest quarters, or roommate accommodations. It also has its own water heater, heating, and air conditioning. A new greenhouse at the rear of the property invites the serious gardener to grow year-round. The yard also features five fruit trees and a large irrigated garden area. Gated rear access provides space for RV, boat, or additional vehicle storage. Recent updates include a new 2.5-ton HVAC system, a new roof, and new fencing separating the rear lot. The home is a short walk from Redlands High School, Sylvan Park, and the Metrolink, with convenient rail connections throughout Southern California. Whether you are drawn to the home’s historic character, the potential of the separate bedroom and bathroom, or the lifestyle flexibility of the expansive lot, this property offers a combination that is genuinely hard to find. Ideally located just minutes from the University of Redlands and Downtown Redlands, the home is close to shops, dining, preserved architecture, and cultural landmarks such as Kimberly Crest House & Gardens, the Lincoln Memorial Shrine, and the historic A.K. Smiley Public Library. The appeal of 1132 E. Citrus Ave. is its flexible living space, income potential, and prime location surrounded by the history, beauty, and culture that make Redlands so highly sought after.
