Located within the historic and highly coveted enclave of Thunderbird Heights, 40500 Calico Road has it all! The property is a corner lot several feet above the adjacent street allowing the site to have both privacy from the neighbors as well as commanding, panoramic views of the entire Coachella Valley below. Many of the original, mid-century architectural details remain throughout the home while newer Fleetwood doors and windows create an idyllic sense of indoor/outdoor living. The residence has four bedrooms, each with its own private patio, and five bathrooms. The over-sized primary suite is complete with a fireplace, sitting area, new flooring, and lots of closet space. The yard features a pebble-tech pool and spa, a recently refinished pool deck, outdoor kitchen, and dining terrace. This really is a world-class property representing the best of desert living.
