About This Home

As of May 2024

Exceptional Fairview Cottages opportunity now available! Sitting on the historically designated Shadow Mountain Golf Club course, Fairview Cottages and its storied history dates back to the midcentury architectural influence and design of accredited architect Richard Dorman, FAIA. This rare, standalone condo preserves vintage charm with selective modern touches. Original features retained include polished and pristine Terrazzo and concrete floors, vintage tile, period cabinetry with updated Formica counters to maintain a mid-century vibe and original stately stone fireplace, all adding to the warmth and appeal of this mid-century era home. The primary en suite bedroom with walk in closet, private outdoor patio and remodeled bathroom present a perfect opportunity for secluded relaxation. The orientation of this cottage captures the dramatic views of the nearby San Jacinto mountains through the transparent wall of newly replaced, low-emissivity, tempered glass Milgard windows and monumental sliders. Multiple patios in the condo encourage leisure and relaxation, with the community pool steps away. A private laundry closet with additional storage opportunity is also offered in this condo. Within close proximity to El Paseo and many Coachella Valley amenities with its central location, Fairview Cottages captures the ease and enjoyment of the timeless desert lifestyle.
