Description
GRETA GARBO & JOHN GILBERT’S LOVE NEST! They almost certainly stayed here once the 1925 “Flesh and the Devil” filming ended – they autographed the kitchen wall along w/ many others! Located in a beautiful wooded setting w/ tall cedars & oaks. There’s ~ 113 ft of street frontage for this 4-season home. It’s a perfect getaway from the May-gray, June-gloom of LA or the sweltering Palm Springs summer. The spacious rustic living rm includes a wood plank ceiling, lrg Anderson double pane wndws, stone fireplace w/ thick log mantle & redwood wainscoting. Roomy upstairs mstr bdrm has lrg wndws w/ dramatic views & ample closets. The updated kitchen is very functional & features a large fireplace w/ insert. This well-laid-out home also has a 2nd bdrm ~ 240 sqft w/ full bth. Could be used as a mother-in-law suite or as a separate unit w/ its own entrance. In winter, the house stays cozy w/ the fireplaces or 2 radiant very efficient propane heaters. Flooring is mostly stone pattern vinyl, w/ original clear-grain spruce planks upstairs. There’s also an A-shaped storage attic ~160 sqft w/ a pull-down stairway. Outside is an 11x16 storage shed. The property is very level by mtn standards, w/ some stone terracing & many hardy iris plants. There’s 2 outdoor dining areas (main garden & 1 for sunsets). 4 vehicles can street park & a loop driveway that holds ~8! It’s w/in 500 ft of Mill Creek, which can be heard in the quiet evenings. Low HOA includes water, side-road snowplowing, & a trash shed. This idyllic property is ~ 1 mi from dwntwn Forest Falls (w/ general store, gift shop, great Mexican restaurant & art gallery). The church, school & post office are ~ 1/2 mi. You’ve probably never heard of Forest Falls, because we have no lake. It also doesn’t have outrageous tourist traffic. The San Bernardino Nat’l Forest & Sand-to-Snow Nat’l Monument surround the community. Only 1 home away from Mill Creek & a hiking trail into the Nat’l Forest, its ~ a 2 mi drive to view scenic Big Falls (at 500 ft, it’s the tallest all-year waterfall in SoCal), & + 1/2 mi to Vivian Creek Trailhead to climb Mt San Gorgonio (tallest mtn in SoCal at 11,503 ft). Forest Falls has easy, safe road access ~ 20 mins to dwntwn Yucaipa & I-10, ~ 60 mins to PS. LA is ~ 80 mi away, west on Hwy 38 to Redlands, then I-10. Summer high temps ~ 85F, winter low ~15F w/ almost constant daytime sunshine during the damp, chill months of LA’s “May-grey June-gloom” and we’re ~ 20 deg cooler than PS’s sweltering summers
