Short Sale opportunity. New price - $1,295,000. The Thoeny Residence, 2008: the architects own home. With more than just a tip of the hat to the now famous mid-century modernist Palm Springs aesthetic, Thoeny has incorporated revivalist elements into a new program for desert luxury living. The two story residence is sited to capture distant mountain views across the city and valley, and is set well back from the street behind the parking court. The scale of the living spaces, quality and attention to detail throughout the residence will satisfy even the most sophisticated, and demanding. The property continues to be impeccably maintained, even while offered at significantly less than replacement cost. Includes: 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, office, pool, patios and gardens.
