About This Home
This one-of-a-kind Historic South Redlands Bungalow with a pool and spa beautifully blends 1920s character with modern upgrades. Located on the coveted West Fern block, this California Period Bungalow was originally built in 1921 for Edward and Eleanor Sperry and has been thoughtfully restored with attention to every detail.
Step through the solid mahogany Craftsman front door into the spacious living area featuring a stone-faced fireplace, custom mantel, and floor-to-ceiling fumed oak bookcase. At the center of the home is a rare atrium lined with windows that fills the space with natural light and provides a tranquil setting with brick flooring and custom drainage. Recent upgrades include a brand-new HVAC system and new electrical panel, bringing modern comfort and efficiency to this historic home.
The remodeled kitchen offers Brazilian granite, stainless steel appliances, and an Italian Fulgor Milano cooktop with a Kenmore Pro convection double oven and warming oven. The master suite features built-in wood closet organizers, a bathroom with subway tile, period hex flooring, a heated bidet, and jacuzzi tub with thermostatically controlled heated floors. The front bedroom includes a fireplace with an antique oak mantle and a charming window seat with storage.
Enjoy outdoor living year-round with a heated saltwater pool and spa, lifetime Fiberon composite decking, and a long concrete driveway leading to a two-car garage and custom clinker-brick carport with English climbing roses. This home is hand-painted in authentic period colors and is ideally located within walking distance to Redlands’ finest historic landmarks, Smiley Park and Library, the Redlands Bowl, Gerrards, and Olive Market.
