Back on the market! Nestled on a nearly half an acre corner lot in the middle of Litte Tuscany, one of the most enchanting neighborhoods of Palm Springs, minutes from downtown, with a history of notable residents such as Jack Benny, Howard Hughes & iconic architecture like the Richard Neutra Kaufmann House, the Edris house or the Palevsky House, this mid-century estate built in 1956 is a quintessential Palm Springs estate. It features over 3100 sq. ft. of living space with two bedrooms (possible 3rd) and 3 baths (all with original colorful vintage tiles) in the main house & a fabulous extra large two room plus bath & kitchenette detached casita featuring original finishes (Terrazzo floors, oversized accordion doors. .. ) and to top if off, a two room ''bomb shelter'' underneath the casita ready to be transformed into a perhaps an exquisite wine cellar. Step outside and be transported to an exotic secret garden with chirping birds, spectacular towerings palms, lush landscaping & a large koi pond surrrounding a pool/spa with panoramic views of San Jacinto. This property benefits from some more recent system updates like water heaters & a leased solar system. A truly magical property!

This is the LITTLE TUSCANY home you have been waiting for. A piece of PARADISE situated on approximately 1/2 acre of lush landscaping including over 100 palm trees (I am told). You will be intrigued from the moment you drive up to this property. Rumor has it that a BARON once lived here (not verified) but interesting. If you are looking for a mid-century GEM to apply your personal touches, look no farther. Gated driveway leads to a large parking area and to the detached CASITA (very cool space) with living room, bedroom, bath and kitchenette. .. takes you back in time. AND. .. the BONUS is a fallout shelter under the casita which could be used as a wine cellar and a tasting room. LOOK CAREFULLY at the photos. .. they will make you want to see this AMAZING property with pool, spa and koi pond in a most PRIVATE setting. OPPORTUNITY knocks. .. you do not want to miss it. PERFECTLY PRICED for the discerning buyer
