About This Home

As of May 2023

Welcome to Casa di Luce, located in the prestigious southwest Palm Springs neighborhood, The Mesa. This recently renovated 1960's modernist home features picturesque, unobstructed views of the San Jacinto mountains just beyond its lush, resort-like grounds. The home is located on a private corner lot at the start of a cul-de-sac of notable MCM homes. Original exterior mid-century features include a breeze block garden wall and a cantilevered stone carport. Meticulously restored both inside and out, with a professional eye towards creating an easy, gracious and chic desert lifestyle oasis. A welcoming entry space provides a transition into the lofty living room centered around a floating hearth. This grand social space features exposed beams and new, large sliding glass doors that open onto the incredible outdoor space. The adjacent dining area connects to the fully equipped kitchen with eat-in counter, and opens onto a side yard garden with gas grill and seating for pre-dinner cocktails. The social spaces are anchored in the center of an L-shaped layout, with the master suite in one wing and two additional bedrooms with a shared bath and laundry in the other wing. The master suite contains an updated bath with dual vanities, a walk-in shower with access to the pool, and a large walk-in closet. Adjacent to the master suite you will find a dedicated work space for two with abundant storage. Outside, the ficus hedges provide a green, privacy border around the entire perimeter of the property, which features a newly renovated pool, spa, fire pit, outdoor shower, retractable awning, and eco-friendly turf and desert landscape throughout. Towering, manicured palm trees and the desert mountains beyond provide the ideal backdrop for this mid-century modern Palm Springs home. The property is being sold stylishly furnished and well-equipped per inventory and has been a successful short-term rental property for over a year. Everything you need, all in one place. Only at Casa di Luce.
