About this property
A FRONT-ROW SEAT TO THE SAN JACINTO MOUNTAINS! Set against one of South Palm Springs' most spectacular backdrops, this architecturally distinctive 3 bedroom 3 bath ensuite residence offers an extraordinary combination of privacy, indoor-outdoor living, and unobstructed mountain views. Designed by Laszlo Sandor and originally built as the personal residence of the developer of Canyon South 4, the home occupies a remarkable setting in coveted Indian Canyons, with beautiful views to the south, east, and west. A gated front courtyard introduces the residence, where double entry doors open to beautifully proportioned living and dining areas. Coved ceilings, a fireplace, and wet bar add architectural character, while expansive sliding glass doors frame the mountains and open to a series of inviting outdoor living spaces. Natural light, clean architectural lines, and effortless connections to the outdoors define the experience throughout. The modern chef's kitchen features a generous center island, pantry, and beautiful views, creating an ideal gathering place for everyday living and entertaining. An adjacent family room opens to its own private patio, offering another comfortable setting to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the desert surroundings. Thoughtfully designed with excellent bedroom separation, the residence offers three private ensuites. The Primary Suite enjoys direct patio access, two closets including a walk-in, and a beautifully updated bath featuring contemporary finishes, a separate soaking tub and shower, and mountain views. Positioned on the opposite side of the residence, Junior Ensuite Two offers a private patio, walk-in closet, and ensuite bath. Junior Ensuite Three also enjoys its own bath, private patio access, and a built-in desk area, providing flexibility for guests or working from home. Outside, the setting is nothing short of exceptional. A walled and hedged backyard creates a private resort-like retreat, where a sparkling pool, expansive lawn, mature landscaping, and swaying palms unfold beneath the dramatic western mountains. Multiple conversation areas invite everything from quiet mornings to sunset gatherings, while the property's open exposures capture remarkable views in nearly every direction. Additional highlights include an inside laundry area conveniently located off the kitchen, no HOA, and eligibility to apply for a City of Palm Springs short-term vacation rental permit, subject to city requirements and approval. Ideally situated near the celebrated Indian Canyons hiking trails, nearby golf, and the dining, shopping, and entertainment of downtown Palm Springs, this residence offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the best of South Palm Springs. And then there is the view. From your own backyard, watch the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway make its journey up the mountainside toward the summit of Mount San Jacinto - a remarkable daily reminder of just how extraordinary this setting truly is. Distinctive architecture. Exceptional privacy. Unforgettable mountain views. This is Palm Springs living at its finest.
