An absolute diamond 1/1 pied-a-terre in the exclusive development of La Siesta Villas in the prestigious Old Las Palmas neighborhood. The first phase of the development (6 Spanish units were originally built in 1936, with the following 13 designed by Albert Frey built in 1965) Operating as a hotel until the mid 80's it has been a getaway for many Hollywood celebrities and now as separate condos it continues to draw an exclusive audience. No expense has been spared in the upgrading of this unit that was last sold in 2005 and cherished by the current Sellers. Enter thru a private patio with upgraded landscape, artificial turf and breathtaking views of the San Jacinto Mountains. This unit shows like a model home and is in one of the best locations within the project just steps to the luxurious common area offering the serenity that only the desert can deliver. An opportunity to own a piece of history and escape the pressure of city living.
