Originally commissioned to be built by mid-century icon Jack Meiselman in 1960, this amazing home has been taken down the studs and completely renovated to exacting standards. The former residence of Dr. Forest Bird, a famous medical device inventor, this home was also re-imagined to accommodate contemporary lifestyles. The open concept living/dining/kitchen/bar area provides plenty of room to entertain guests while the separate family/media room offers a more intimate area for conversation or film screenings. The oversized yard offers a freshly updated pool/spa and multiple seating areas, one with a fire pit to keep warm while enjoying the unobstructed mountain views with family and friends. This incredible home is close to amenities like shopping and dining, and it's only a short drive or bike ride from the restaurants and nightlife in downtown Palm Springs. This home is truly a must see property. All information stated is deemed to be accurate, but buyers should always verify details stated and otherwise.
