Be part of history and own a landmark rather than just a house. Featured on HGTV and a proud recipient of the Redlands Heritage Award, the Otis-Clem Estate is the ultimate treasure for those who crave character over “cookie-cutter” designs. This once-in-a-century opportunity allows you to steward a home that truly lives like a movie set, positioned on a sprawling 0.74-acre lot on the prestigious corner of Highland and Monterey.
Imagine hosting summer nights on the first-ever lit tennis court in Southern California, a true piece of West Coast history. The grounds are further enhanced by a variety of mature fruit trees that add to the estate’s lush, private atmosphere. Inside, you enter a living work of art featuring the famous “Chinese Room” and 6-foot mahogany wainscoting hand-painted by Edward Langley, the legendary Art Director for Douglas Fairbanks’ Robin Hood. His cinematic touch and intricate gold-leaf carvings make every room feel like a masterpiece, from the massive 20×40 Great Den with its two-story rock fireplace to the whimsical inside-outside fishpond that has been a Redlands legend since 1925.
The estate perfectly balances historic integrity with modern essential updates and high-end restorations. The kitchen and bathrooms have been beautifully refreshed, now featuring a new Italian vintage stove and a custom fridge. Significant infrastructure improvements include a new roof, updated plumbing, a new upstairs AC unit, and all-new ducting throughout. Practicality meets luxury with ample storage in the basement and attic, while the garage is equipped with a 240-volt charger for your electric vehicle. Built by the renowned D.M. Donald, this 4,500-square-foot masterpiece offers a rare chance to own a home where master craftsmanship meets contemporary comfort.
