Commanding attention from its prime location at W Olive Avenue and Alvarado Street on a sprawling, meticulously landscaped half-acre, lies William F Holt's heritage award winning Mission Revival masterpiece : a stately 4,371 sq ft main residence AND fully converted 2,400 sq ft carriage house with separate gated drive offering additional upstairs and downstairs living quarters! William poured his soul into this architectural masterpiece creating a treasure of love and legacy. A classic wrap-around porch framed by flourishing gardens and mature trees beckons you to relax. Step inside to sky-high ceilings, original architraves, and a charming reading nook. The parlor, bathed in natural light through expansive windows, features gleaming original hardwood floors and elegant pocket doors. The grand foyer impresses with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, 12-foot ceilings throughout, and handcrafted decorative detailing that whispers of 1903 craftsmanship. Entertain with elegance in the formal dining room, where a magnificent chandelier sets the tone, flanked by original built-in china cabinets and period-appropriate accents that elevate every gathering. The kitchen is a culinary delight with sweeping views of the backyard and koi pond, a walk-in pantry, and an adjoining laundry area with linen storage and backyard access. The main level also features a spacious bedroom with patio access and a full bathroom. Upstairs, four bedrooms unfold. Highlights include multiple private patios once cherished by a local author for its tranquil views, built-in features, and original sinks in select rooms. The carriage house behind the main home offers finished upper and lower level separate living spaces. A private courtyard oasis with sparkling pool and spa is surrounded with lush landscape where over 100 lovingly maintained fruit trees provide a canopy of flavor and fragrance. Enjoy a koi pond bursting with vibrant aquatic life. An original porte cochère, now serves as stylish covered parking with added space for RV or boat storage. Below the estate boasts a rare and whimsical feature: a single-lane bowling alley complete with original pins—an unforgettable tribute to the home’s playful past. Ideally situated near the Redlands Bowl and downtown Redlands charming shops and restaurants—it’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a living piece of Redlands history. This legacy estate invites you to write the next chapter in its enduring story.
