512 Lantern Crest Drive

Stroll the secret gardens at this charming French Chateau perched on the hills above Redlands Country Club! Past the front gate, a tree-covered circular driveway lends a stately air to the home. Past the driveway, a serene, tree-lined path to the front door greets you with beautiful ivy, morning glory, honeysuckle, and roses. An edible garden provides spearmint, chocolate mint, vegetables, and both red and green grapes during harvest season. A separate whimsical brick pathway with a potted garden leads you to an ornate water fountain feature and the perfect outdoor resting or reading nook. Ornamental brickwork adorns the house and the grand portico entryway and atrium, while a leaded glass transom sits above a carved wood front door. Inside, smooth plaster walls draw the eye up to a lofty coffered ceiling with crystal chandeliers and back down to a travertine tile floor. Open the windows in the charming separate dining room during the spring and summer months to let in the natural sounds of twilight wildlife. A newly remodeled kitchen features all-new appliances and a sweeping sunset view of San Timoteo Canyon and the San Bernardino Valley. Countless high-class finishes and built-ins include a wet bar with a fridge and brass sink, a massive master suite with a powder room and a bath with a bidet, a walk-in master closet, a crafting room, an office, old-world door hardware, and arched casement windows. Outside, a pool, spa, and newly built deck overlook the hillside for parties or elegant hosting. Finally, enter the private casita guest suite/studio, where ambiance lighting adds drama to the vaulted ceilings! Includes money-saving solar energy panels. Nearby hiking opportunities include Creekside, Carriage, and Caroline Park Trails. Conveniently located near Loma Linda University, Redlands Community Hospital, ESRI, and the University of Redlands.
