70417 Los Pueblos Way, Rancho Mirage, CA 92270

Rare opportunity to rent a historically designated midcentury (1958) single-family home by renowned architect William Krisel at Tamarisk Ranchos in Rancho Mirage. One of 16 unique homes in a stunning parkland setting designated a historic district in 2016, both the house and the community are featured in the book 'Mod Mirage,' (pub. 2018, Gibbs Smith) and have been included in Modernism Week tours several times. This house features 2 bedrooms + den/third bedroom, three full bathrooms, large open plan living room / dining area, with a fabulous wrap-around rock fireplace in the center. Panoramic views of the Santa Rosa mountains are visible through floor-to-ceiling wall of glass and sliders in the living area, that lead out to the front terrace for sunset cocktails or morning coffee. Vintage styling and original floorplan in 2,100 sq ft + 460 sq ft garage have been retained but updated for 21st century living. This house was once the home of John Guedel, the 'grandfather of reality television,' who launched shows like 'You Bet Your Life' (Groucho Marx had his desert home at Tamarisk Ranchos,) 'Ozzy and Harriet,' and many more. With the mirrored cocktail bar at one end of the living room, it's easy to imagine the Hollywood set enjoying life in this home. A big, beautiful, and recently renovated community pool and spa are only steps from the front door. Sunloungers and sun umbrellas are already in place. No maintenance required for either pool or grounds; just bring your book and your float! The 2019-remodeled kitchen includes all new appliances: Samsung double oven and gas cooktop, Samsung fridge-freezer, low-noise Bosch dishwasher, and slimline, built-in microwave. White quartz countertops are offset by walnut base cabinets and glazed / white upper cabinetry. Under-cabinet lighting, illuminated glass cabinets and recessed LED ceiling lights are all new, as is the stainless-steel farmhouse-style sink. Counterspace divides kitchen from dining area, so diners and cooks can interact. The den / third bedroom features original pocket doors that close off the room when privacy is required. It includes a built-in media center, and new shower room with WC and sink. Glass sliders lead to a sizeable rear patio, bbq area, and grass-lawned private garden, views of Mt. San Jacinto, and a shaded lanai for quiet afternoon snoozes and relaxing. The large master bedroom has two walls of closets, and a newly remodeled ensuite bathroom, with rosewood floating double vanity, hexagonal white floor tiles, and new tiled shower over the bathtub. The second bedroom is also a good size, with one wall of closet space, large window to the rear garden and a big ensuite bathroom with double vanity, shower, and WC. Decor throughout the home is in midcentury style, with a grasscloth wall at the bar end of the living room, deep plum painted wall at the other end, white exposed beam ceilings. Bedrooms and bathrooms are painted in shades of teal, light blues and greens. Vintage fabrics have been chosen for certain window treatments. The attached garage is suitable for one car plus bikes and storage and is where the washer and dryer are located.
