About This Home
As of November 2016Hidden behind block walls and iron gates is this rare Spanish Hacienda on a double (appx) half acre lot located in south Palm Springs. The original 2 bedroom 1 bath bungalow with hand troweled plaster and stucco finishes, coffered ceilings, hardwood floors and clay tile roof was built in 1936. Today the main home is approximately 2,780 square feet with 3 bedrooms (2 w/ensuite bathrooms), a formal living room with wood burning fireplace, a music room with a vintage built in dry bar cabinet, a country style kitchen/great room with 15 sets of French doors opening to the outside, a pool/guest bath and a pool house/office. In 2006 a full property restoration/buildout of the Carriage House wing was completed to include 3 guest casitas, each with a private bath and outside entry patios expanding the Hacienda to (appx) 3,756 square feet. An oversized 3 car garage and off street parking for 6 guest vehicles behind the motorized steel drive gate makes this truly a one of a kind family compound.
