No expense was spared on this custom home. Now a luxurious modern retreat, there is a great contemporary vibe running through the interiors which feature soaring ceilings highlighted by knotty alder beams, rustic doors, reclaimed wide-plank wood flooring, a fully-equipped gourmet kitchen, custom made furnishings, and spa-like marble and stone bathrooms. For those cool desert nights, there is a cozy fireplace in the great room and for those warm days the back of the house is filled with french doors leading to your own private oasis outside. The yard consists of a brand new salt-water swimming pool and Egyptian glass tiled spa. There are multiple seating and lounging areas outdoors including dining for 8 under a tiki hut, a shaded outside living room, poolside chaises for 4, and relaxing loungers around a giant stone firepit. All of this is surrounded by the breathtaking mountain views & California fan palms. Being a bit farther away from the mountain is key to the success of the outdoor spaces in the house; you get almost an extra hour of sunlight (and sunsets) during the day as compared to the homes close to downtown (and those huge mountains)! The bedrooms have televisions with a full cable package, as does the great room. Each room has a ceiling fan and luxurious Egyptian cotton linens. The smaller bedroom has two twin beds, and all rooms have large closets. There is an elegant and modern round dining table that seats 8 for interior dining or game night. The breakfast bar in the kitchen seats 4 atop the striking quartz countertops and glass backsplash, and there is a high capacity washer and dryer just off the side entrance in the garage. The attention to detail in this home is like no other available on the vacation rental market in Palm Springs; you will never stay anywhere else after a night in this spectacular space. Participate locally: If you arrive by Thursday, the Palm Springs' downtown area 'Village Fest' on Palm Canyon Drive is transformed into a bustling street fair...Artists, craftsmen, food vendors, musicians and entertainers are there to entertain. Stock up on local farm veggies/fruit or enjoy some great people watching. Also experience, on Friday from 4pm to 9pm, 'First Friday On North Palm Canyon' (every month, year-round), between Tachevah and Amado Road, featuring entertainment, food and fun, where more than 50 antique furnishings and art stores remain open into the late evening.
