In 1881, after the Chaffey Brothers had brought water down from the foothills of Mt. Baldy to irrigate the land they named Ontario, it didn't take long for the farmers to show up and set up their citrus crops and for the ailing Easterners to settle down in drier climates. And although this stunning Mid-Century Modern was built a half a century later, it still beckons those drawn to tending the land by keeping to its old roots with added design elements of the Spanish Hacienda Revival style such as the terra-cotta inspired steel-stamped roof, front porch Corinthian columns, stuccoed, wide fireplace, and Mission-red, Spanish Saltillo tile flooring. The boomerang-shaped, spacious and flowing floor plan surrounds a sprawling courtyard befit with three screen-enclosed porches and a glittering salt-water pool segregated via a rustic wooden fence from a mini-grove of 10 citrus trees and 6 pomegranate trees. All of this sitting on a rare parcel lot size of over half an acre of land replete with rows and rows of berries and grapes and over 40 miscellaneous deciduous fruit trees including stone fruit, apple, fig, cherry! Over $80,000 worth of improvements in the landscaping, plumbing, electrical, and drainage have been undertaken!
