Iconic Design Meets Modern Desert Living - Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac just minutes from the heart of Palm Springs, this reimagined Desert Dorado home - originally designed by noted architect Hugh Kaptur - blends mid-century charm with contemporary sophistication. Expansive floor-to-ceiling sliders span the back of the home, flooding the space with natural light and opening to an ultra-private, south-facing backyard with no overhead wires and stunning, unobstructed views of Mt. San Jacinto. Inside, the renovated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, clean modern lines, and designer finishes that balance style and functionality. The three bedrooms and two updated bathrooms offer comfortable, modern living, thoughtfully designed with today's aesthetics in mind. Step outside to your own desert oasis: a sparkling pool and in-ground spa, recently resurfaced with micro PebbleTec and paired with newer equipment, surrounded by native landscaping and an automatic irrigation system. A large covered patio offers the perfect space for outdoor dining and relaxation, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. Additional features include a spacious two-car garage with a 220V EV charging port and a low monthly payment Tesla solar system, providing energy efficiency and cost savings year-round. Currently operating as a successful short-term rental with nearly a hundred five-star reviews, this home offers excellent investment potential -or the perfect private retreat. Just five minutes from downtown Palm Springs, yet tucked away in peaceful seclusion, this one-of-a-kind home captures the essence of desert living. Offered furnished, making your transition effortless.
