A centennial celebration of style and grace in Palm Springs' premier neighborhood- The Mesa. The circa 1923 guesthouse residence is a testament to the grandeur of a timeless era; once the privileged retreat for King C. Gillette's esteemed guests. Gillette was the visionary behind Gillette Razors and its corporate empire. The residence offers a blend of historical charm and contemporary luxury. Meticulously expanded, restored and renovated in 2022, this well-designed three-bedroom (3rd bedroom is an attached ensuite) abode pays homage to its original architecture (possibly Wallace Neff) while embracing modern amenities. Features include high vaulted wood, beamed ceilings & a focal point stone corner fireplace in the dining room. All create an inviting atmosphere. Outside, lush surroundings greet you with impeccably landscaped gardens and a lemon tree covered dining Pergola. The walled grounds boast vibrant florals, manicured hedges, stone firepit, spectacular San Jacinto mountain views overlooking the blue tiled pool and a partially covered patio. A new 2 car garage was added in 2022. This is more than a residence; it's an investment of unparalleled charm and lifestyle. Own a significant part of Palm Springs history with heritage and thoughtfulness in every detail! Vacation Rental license and sold turn-key furnished at no additional cost to buyer.
