About this home

Step into the Palm Springs lifestyle of the 1960s sleek lines, open spaces, and indoor-outdoor living at its best. This turn-key, ultra-chic, and rare 2-bedroom / 2-bath end-unit residence is located within the iconic "Villa de Las Palmas," a gated, 24-unit Mid-Century Modern community built in 1962 and designed by noted architect Jo Paul Rognstad. Perfectly situated on fee land (you own the land) on West Via Lola - once affectionately known as "Millionaire's Row", this address captures the timeless glamour of the Uptown Design District in ultra prime Old Las Palmas. Inside this meticulously renovated (2021), mid-century gem, discover an airy living and dining space bathed in daylight, anchored by new porcelain flooring throughout and a sleek concrete-look fireplace for a contemporary touch. No detail was overlooked in this top-to-bottom transformation, which includes newer plumbing, electrical, insulation, sheetrock, and a newer HVAC system with modern ceiling fans and electric shades for year-round luxury. The gourmet kitchen boasts quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and high-end appliances, while the in-unit laundry adds ultimate convenience. Both upscale bathrooms feature custom porcelain wall tiles and Carrera mosaic tile, complete with a bidet and a luxurious two-person jetted tub. The home's single-level layout flows effortlessly through newer sliding glass doors to a spacious, south-facing 15' x 23' entertaining balcony (approx. 345 sq. ft.). Here, cocktail hour meets sunset in true Palm Springs style on an expansive private patio complete with breathtaking mountain views, a fire pit, and a retractable awning with built-in misters for year-round enjoyment. This end-unit is ideally situated for maximum privacy within the community, only one minute from a secondary gate. Step outside to the beautifully renovated greenbelt and desertscape (2023) featuring a large, year-round heated Pool, Spa, and Fire/Water Feature - all facing Mt. San Jacinto. Don't forget the hard-to-find, assigned, subterranean garage parking space, which also includes a private storage closet. The location is a '10' - mere steps from Ernest Coffee, Tailor Shop Craft Cocktail Bar, Hyphen Wine Shop & John's Restaurant. You are less than 1/4 mile to 849, Jake's, Cafe La Jefa & Workshop Kitchen + Bar (which is a 3-minute walk), and surrounded by the city's best designer boutiques and mid-century emporiums. Stroll or bike through your exclusive Old Las Palmas neighborhood any day of the week. The HOA allows 30-day or longer rentals, and pets are welcome. Two renovated units sold for $870,000 each (2024,2025). NOTE: Tax Records indicate every unit in this complex is only 1 Bedroom. Furnishings available for purchase outside of Escrow.
