As one of the few great historic properties in Palm Springs, known affectionately as the "Donna Reed Estate", this ultra private retreat offers gracious vintage character among beautifully landscaped grounds and stunning mountain views. Designed by Pasadena based architect Charles Matcham and completed in 1934, this impeccably restored 2 story residence offers a rare example of California Monterey style in the heart of Old Las Palmas. Situated on almost 3/4 of an acre, this gated compound includes a main house with a separate 2 bedroom/1 bath guest house, a European inspired motor court, an expansive lawn, fruit orchard, shaded lounge areas, and a gorgeous pool complete with an outdoor bar/BBQ area. The interior is highlighted by a large, cleverly designed "dual chef's kitchen" appointed with marble countertops, custom tile/cabinetry. The main kitchen is anchored by a Bertazzoni range, farmhouse sink, s/s dishwasher, s/s refrigerator, walk in pantry and free standing butcher block island. An oversized butler's pantry includes a second sink, s/s dishwasher, additional storage and wine refrigerator. Off the kitchen is the intimate formal dining room with wood ceiling. The spacious living room features a wood beamed ceiling and fireplace with views of the front and rear garden. A charming wood banister staircase leads to the second floor in the main house. The primary suite offers a cozy fireplace, balcony, spa-like bath with a custom dual vanity. In addition, the upstairs has a 2nd guest bedroom/bath and a flexible 3rd bedroom or office. A 4th bedroom/bath is downstairs and is currently a media room/study. The indoor/outdoor flow is ideal given that all the main rooms open to the large pool/patio area with retractable awnings. Additional period features can be noted with the artisan millwork, iron details, tile, and a smeared mortar effect with the brick. Improvements include a Control 4 media and home operation system, owned solar panels, updated lighting/HVAC, and designer grade plumbing fixtures. What a rare opportunity to live in the ultimate classic Palm Springs estate.
