Welcome to 1830 S. Barona Rd, a rare opportunity to own a piece of Palm Springs history in the iconic Sandcliff community, designed by Sherwin L. Barton in 1964. This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1,380 sq. ft. home, offered fully furnished, combines mid-century charm with modern updates. Original features like a built-in sound system, vintage Westinghouse range, and super rare original sliding screens are complemented by upgrades such as dual-paned windows, updated HVAC, and contemporary appliances. The open floor plan is filled with natural light, and each room opens to a private, walled patio. The U-shaped kitchen features refreshed cabinetry and stainless appliances, with a breakfast bar that can be closed off by the original sliding screen for added privacy. The spacious primary suite offers a private patio with Mt. San Jacinto views and an updated walk-in shower. The second bedroom, currently a media room, includes a Murphy bed. Sandcliff amenities include two 40-foot pools with loggias and spas, beautifully landscaped grounds, and a dedicated carport with extra storage. Located near Smoketree Ranch and hiking trails, this community is a City of Palm Springs Historic District, and also under review for the National Register of Historic Places. The new owner may apply for the Mills Act for potential property tax savings. Enjoy a vibrant, modernist community in one of Palm Springs' most iconic locations!
