Welcome to this reimagined, 1948 single story residence located in the Tahquitz River Estates neighborhood of south Palm Springs. Owned by an architect and his partner, this home was taken down to the studs in 2017/2018 and brought back to life as a modern, desert domicile. This home features three bedrooms and three baths, as well as additional office space off the primary, which could be used as any number of iterations. Additionally a large walk in closet accompanies the primary suite for ample storage and enhanced clothing capacity. Added features of the home include a large circular driveway, two car garage, a covered entryway that leads into an expansive foyer with 9' ceilings and floor to ceiling windows. The open concept floor plan between the kitchen, dining and living rooms all face the pool, spa and mountains for exceptional, south Palm Springs views. Two of the three bedrooms have direct access to the walled, landscaped and private backyard equipped with an in-ground, salt water, heated pool and spa and ample areas for sunbathing, entertaining and dining. The views of Mt. San Jacinto really are lovely from the backyard of this stylish residence. Additionally the primary suite is located across the home from the two guest suites for added privacy and hushed evenings. The kitchen has been fully renovated and features custom teak and walnut cabinetry, quartz countertops, Bosch, Kitchen Aid and Frigidaire appliances, and features a 16' slider to the back, covered patio. Seating is available at the kitchen bar, or other options include the outdoor patio or for a more formal evening, the dining area. Additionally, new windows, doors and a new HVAC system including new ductwork were installed as well as new electrical and plumbing and two new tankless water heaters and a new mini-split in the primary. This home retains the traditional mid-century concepts of its original inception and was renovated to accommodate today's modern world and modern family. This home offers an abundance of features to any prospective buyer interested in maintaining mid-century charm in a modernized world.
