There is a charming little street in Redlands, actually there are many, many charming streets here. But this one in particular has 18 petite cottages that were built in 1926. While they are all French "Chateaux" in style each one has it's own personality. They rarely come up for sale and when they do they get snatched up quickly. They are soooo cute. Here are a few of my favorites...

  1. Glad you knew we wanted to see those houses. Perfection. No wonder they don't turnover often.

    Of course I imagined how I would garden at each one.

  2. Love the pictures....

    Three different "dunce cap" houses!

    I think the traveling gnome might live in one of them : )

  3. They are so sweet, like fairy tale cottages. I especially love the one with the ivy growing on it. And Opal Essence by Benjamin Moore is the color I used in our bathroom. ; ) Trina

  8. How pretty! Like a storybook village. Are you familiar with the cottages in Carmel that have names like Hansel and Gretel? I haven't seen them in person...yet...but I will! How fun that you have these right around the corner!

  10. The only word I can think of to describe those cottages is "charming." What a lovely neighborhood.

  11. I have lived in Redlands all my life, these are my favorite homes. It is my dream to own one! I have always called them the “munchkin Homes” or “Gnome homes”.
