    What's special

    This home represents a highly desirable architecture, a 1949 early California Spanish style home. Well Located in the south Tahquitz River Estates neighborhood with exceptional views of the San Jacinto Mountains. Living area with beamed ceilings, an original stucco fireplace all adjacent to the enclosed sun porch for more entertainment and relaxation options.2 bedrooms, one is the new primary with a new ensuite bathroom retreat, and the other bedroom is adjacent to the second bathroom also utilized as a guest bathroom. Tile and cut hand laid stone floors thread throughout the property, both inside and outside, creating the visual and textural base for this historic property. The enclosed backyard features a spacious open patio deck that surrounds the natural style pool and in ground spa. The new landscaping is designed for privacy and to create a citrus shade orchard to enjoy for years to come. Renovated inside and out featuring, stone interior inlaid floors, new kitchen, new Laundry Room, new primary suite and bathroom, enclosed patio and beautifully restored and replicated wood beamed ceilings. New HVAC. Restored meticulously by the Smiths (see Palm Springs Life-May 2016), who have taken on the saving of beautiful, old architectural properties, such as Korakia Pensione Hotel and Sparrows Lodge. The Smiths kept this charming property for themselves and have curated it to reflect its past and to showcase personal items they love. A large front row of hedges and Bougainvillea welcome you through the front gated driveway with more natural rock and orchard landscaping. The carport was removed and can be restored in the same location or add a 1 car garage if preferred. Additional land area in the rear yard can be utilized to enlarge the residence if desired. If you are looking for historic Spanish charm, warmth, character and ambience, this is it. A very private, single-family residence with a private pool and grounds priced similarly to many Palm Springs Condominiums in shared and planned communities! Do not miss this opportunity.
