About This Home
As of March 2025Step into the epitome of Palm Springs elegance with this from-the-studs exquisitely reimagined Mid-Century gated mini-estate. Steps from downtown PS dining and shopping, this 3-BR, 3-Bath, 2015 sq. ft. architectural gem seamlessly blends timeless design with modern luxury. Bathed in natural light from Nano wall doors, the home's open-concept layout effortlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen spaces--each offering breathtaking views of the private pool and lush surroundings. Beyond the gated entry and tall ficus hedge that surrounds the estate, a serene entry yard sets the tone for this sophisticated sanctuary. Inside, white porcelain flooring, a cozy fireplace, and walls of glass create a luminous and inviting great room. The primary suite is a private retreat with a spa-inspired bath, featuring a double vanity, multi-jetted shower, and expansive walk-in closet. Two guest bedrooms, each with private outdoor access, provide tranquil escapes. The showstopping kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting a Thermador appliance package, custom imported Italian cabinets, terrazzo style quartz and dual islands. Outside, the reimagined heated salt-water pool w/ tanning shelf, refined outdoor entertaining space and panoramic mountain views offer the perfect fusion of comfort and style. Additional features include state-of-the-art, monitored alarm system w/ cameras & remote notification, oversized 2 car garage with gated driveway and interior laundry. This is more than a home--it's a modern desert sanctuary, where Mid-Century style and tranquility converge.
