Welcome to the Desert Lair! This is your opportunity to get the best of BOTH worlds; remote desert vibes with super close access to the hustle & bustle of main high street Palm Springs. Nestled in the privacy of Little Tuscany, every house in the neighborhood is a showstopper. Drive into the property with the stunning mountains directly behind, pull directly into the garage or park anywhere on the enormous driveway. This contemporary property pops against the background dressed in black with a classic pink double front door. Enter into the open plan living room, dining & kitchen to be greeted with vaulted ceilings and beautiful polished concrete floors with immediate views out to pool spa and mountains. Wander through the large primary bedroom and into the exquisite ensuite and continue into a full walk in closet. Back down the corridor to find another 3 bedrooms and 2 breathtaking bathrooms. Further down the hall finds linen closets & storage with washer dryer and quartz counters. Large 2 car garage with high ceilings and electric car chargers inside & out could easily be converted to a spacious ADU. Views from every window is the constant comment but head outside to experience this truly incredible outdoor space. A huge deck cover allows al fresco dining anytime of day and the outdoor kitchen serves up everything on a large concrete island. Fire-pit leads to the hot tub and lap pool. This outdoor space really is a desert oasis with a breathtaking mountain backdrop. The property currently operates as an Airbnb generating in excess of $100k per annum.
