This impressive English Tudor Revival was designed by local architect Welmer P. Lamar and built in 1922 for Brooks and Clara Lowentrout.  Many "Revival styles" were popular in the 1920's as American homeowners had a strong desire to connect with tradition while they were experiencing the effects of modernization.  The English Tudor during the 15th and 16th Centuries was most often a rural village dwelling.  The Tudor Revivals of the 1920's were meant to invoke that warm domesticity to combat the sense of loss from mechanization and modernization.  This home features hallmarks of the Tudor Revival style such as half-timbering, a steeply pitched gabled roof, chimney clusters, casement windows and a low rambling floor plan.  As time has passed the landscape has grown around the home embracing it as if it had always been there.  Where original Tudor homes were very spartan, often not even having windows due to the expense of glass, this Revival style home is plush with comfort and detail.  The living room is wrapped in beautiful casement windows, features hardwood floors that continue throughout the lower level and has a focal point Batchelder tile fireplace.  There are gorgeous pocket doors between the living and dining rooms which is normally a feature only found in stately homes built around the turn of the century.  The kitchen was recently updated with refurbished original cabinetry, new KitchenAid appliances, countertops and gorgeous Moorish inspired art-tile backsplash.  There are two bedrooms downstairs, each having their own private patios and the second of these rooms has an addition room attached that could be used for a variety of purposes.  Upstairs you'll find another secondary bedroom and bathroom as well as the primary suite.  The primary suite is private, quiet and an absolute luxury for owners of a vintage home.  The bathroom was remodeled in a period appropriate way and there is also an enormous walk-in closet.  Finally, this home is located in the highly sought after Mount Rubidoux Historic District, surrounded by impressive historic homes of varying architectural styles.  I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story and even though it looks beautiful in the photographs I can assure you it shows better in person.
