245 Alvarado ST Redlands, CA 92373

AH, ALVARADO!! WELCOME HOME to one of the most coveted streets in Redlands and is just minutes from downtown Redlands, Redlands Bowl and AK Smiley Library. Outstanding Redlands Unified School District. This historic home was built by the manager (housekeeper) of the First Hotel In Redlands, the Windsor Hotel by Miss Mary Dodds. The home was built for the Redlands pioneer Dan Findley who built the second commercial structure in downtown Redlands for his meat market. He later opened a men's store, Reid and Findley, located on Orange Street approximately where the Falconer is today. Dodd, Dan and Lena Findley lived in the home for several years. In 1949, the house was divided into two apartments when the city was short of housing following WWII. Current owners converted the structure back to its original footprint and re-crafted the original, interior staircase. This lovely home features parlor, living room and formal dining room along with 5 bedrooms (the downstairs bedroom is used as an office) with 4 bedrooms up. 2 1/4 baths. Lots of closet space. The kitchen is updated and features a charming breakfast nook. The thoughtfully crafted cabinetry and style compliment this turn of the century home. The living spaces are welcoming, light and bright. The wrap-around porch is where you will want to spend each afternoon as you watch the world go by. The rear yard is open and shady with a large concrete patio for entertaining. There is even a tree house and a workshop! NEWER ROOF on main house! See you soon at 245 Alvarado!
