Historic Spanish Mission-Style Cottage on Premium University-Adjacent Estate - $1,595/month This is one of two completely self-contained cottages nestled on a stunning, professionally landscaped double-lot estate with remarkable Hollywood heritage, just a forty-five second walk from the University of Redlands. The property's storied main residence was once owned by Mary Pickford, the legendary silent film star and Hollywood pioneer known as "America's Sweetheart." Originally built in the 1940s, these charming cottages underwent a complete renovation and modernization in 2009, thoughtfully designed to complement the Spanish mission-style 1930s-era home at the front of the property. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Riverside Mission Inn, the renovation features authentic architectural details including graceful arched doorways, period plaster finishes, and soaring vaulted ceilings wherever possible.
