Property Description

Moments from the boutiques, galleries, and dining of the famed El Paseo Shopping District, this beautifully reimagined mid-century ranch style home, captures the essence of relaxed desert living on an expansive .35-acre parcel in South Palm Desert. Originally built in 1950 and thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom, the residence blends timeless architectural character with contemporary design and modern comfort. Clean lines, open living spaces, and abundant natural light create a welcoming atmosphere throughout the home. At the heart of the residence, the chef's kitchen has been completely transformed with professional-grade appliances, sleek custom cabinetry, floating shelves, and a striking waterfall island designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The open-concept great room features a gas-burning fireplace, designer tile flooring, and views that extend toward the surrounding mountains. The primary suite offers a tranquil retreat with a sitting area, walk-in closet, and a beautifully renovated bath featuring a soaking tub, dual vanities, and direct access to the pool and spa. Two additional bedrooms, including a private poolside casita connected by a breezeway, provide comfortable accommodations for guests while maintaining privacy and flexibility. Outdoors, the property unfolds as a private resort; a newly constructed pool and spa anchor the grounds, complemented by multiple lounging and dining areas, mature desert landscaping, and generous open space rarely found so close to El Paseo.Offering architectural charm, modern upgrades, and an exceptional location, this distinctive property presents a rare opportunity to experience the very best of desert living.
