A spectacular steel and glass contemporary retreat offering absolute privacy and security in the much sought after Movie Colony area of Palm Springs. One passes from the circular motor court through glass doors and Zen garden immediately revealing the concrete floors and soaring 14-foot ceilings. From the moment one enters the home their senses are overwhelmed by the various angles, application and quality of materials. The modern design is based on the concept that open doors should not be seen, thus disappearing into the walls. The two-bedroom, 2.5 bath main residence is approximately 3200 square feet. Open plan living and dining areas seamlessly blend into the modern chef's kitchen with Wolf and Subzero appliances and amazing bar all with floor to ceiling sliders that recede to effortlessly fuse indoor and outdoor living. The outdoor spaces provide for lounging and dining terraces with a built-in BBQ island, graffiti art wall with fireplace by Tommy Wonder and the most amazing 180-degree mountain views. Guest house has two 1 Bedroom/1 Bath suites with their own entrances and total nearly 500 additional square feet. The refreshing saltwater pool and spa add to the resort-like feel of this remarkable one-of-a-kind residence.
