About This Home

As of June 2020

Classic 1930s Spanish in the heart of Picfair Village. Airy, light-filled oasis loaded with character charm and modern upgrades. An exquisite 2013 renovation gives the living, dining and kitchen areas a modern floor plan while keeping the original floors, dramatic barrel ceiling, intricate door frames, decorative fireplace and envy-inducing bathroom tile. Two bedrooms open to a backyard that beckons for al fresco dinners and games of bocce while surrounded by a cactus garden to make a Palm Springs hotelier blush. Converted Garage is perfect for HOME OFFICE, GUESTS, or artistic creation. The oversized kitchen office is where you can write your next masterpiece while making sure the bread doesn't burn. Upgraded systems, newer roof, irrigated drought tolerant landscaping, EV charger, etc. Now more than ever, community is key and the boutiques, restaurants, salons and galleries of this red-hot area provide a close to home paradise.
