Villa de Fleur - A 1928 French Mediterranean Villa in the Shandin Hills Neighborhood. Mills Act Property equals tax benefits! Villa de Fleur is a place you’ve visited before in fairytale dreams. The grounds are home to a French garden with boxwood parterres, fragrant rose bushes, lavender, a succulent terrace, citrus, olive, a line of cypress, & dozens of other trees, which, along with a gentle rolling hillside, provide complete privacy. Even with such lush flora, the estate’s historic terraces provide a panoramic view of the mountains & city lights. In the 1920s, San Bernardino was growing exponentially. The railways expanded, new theatres opened, and in 1927, the historic Harris Company built its flagship store on 3rd & E. It was around this time that builders broke ground on Villa de Fleur. When the villa was completed, it had become the masterpiece it remains today with its historic Stucco & Spanish tile composition. Rock terraces & pillars were added later, complementing the villa perfectly. Today, the villa wears a magical demi-mask of Virginia creeper ivy, evoking wonder & whimsy. Original casement & French mullioned windows hold historic wavy glass panes that make images dance and refract soft gleams of rippled sunlight on the oak floors. An old world, arched front door boasts wrought iron hardware and a unique speakeasy window, welcoming your guests into the formal entryway. A stately fireplace has been passionately restored to its original form with Walker Zanger tiles to complement. Artful wrought iron chandeliers suspend from the ceiling while hand-painted details adorn the walls. The remodeled kitchen and bathrooms feature elegant granite & marble. Every bathroom has new fixtures and a soaking tub, one of which is a claw-foot tub. The bedrooms feature terrace views. The kitchen, dining, and living room feature city & valley views. Entertain in the formal dining room or have a relaxing meal in your breakfast nook, outside pergola, or on any number of terraces.
