Property Description

Built in 1959 as one of only three original model homes in the area, the current owner later purchased this distinctive residence from the original owner's family and has lovingly preserved it, with much of its authentic character intact. Step through the distinctive compressed entry and into an expansive, open-concept living area where the architecture and details capture the spirit of classic mid-century design. The original kitchen cabinetry has a striking architectural quality reminiscent of Rudolph Schindler's work. Take in the magnificent San Jacinto Mountains, sitting at the kitchen table. Warm knotty-pine paneling throughout the living spaces adds an unmistakable vintage charm and cozy cabin feel. Original creative touches-including stained glass incorporated into the sliding glass door and a unique kitchen pendant light-bring personality and a wonderfully retro flair to the home. The refurbished lanai features translucent Lexan panel walls that allow natural sunlight to filter through while providing privacy, creating an inviting space to relax and enjoy the desert surroundings. The current owner installed all-new copper piping throughout! The backyard features more than 20 fruit trees planted by the owner, including pomegranate, mango, cherimoya, kumquat, guava, fig, date, apricot, blood orange, and lime, along with desert willows, Palo Verde, and other native plantings. Authentic, eclectic, and wonderfully groovy, this is an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of the area's early architectural history and beautiful desert lifestyle. Please do not disturb occupants.
