Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in The Movie Colony, one of Palm Springs' most coveted neighborhoods, this period-perfect home showcases the design talents of famed architect Hugh Kaptur. Built in 1969, the interior of the open-concept single-level residence is completely sequestered from the street, with only a two-space carport and a gate leading to its courtyard entrance. Indoors, the home opens widely to the backyard and dramatic mountain views via wraparound walls of floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding-glass doors, blurring the lines between indoors and out. A vaulted and beamed ceiling enhances the feeling of spaciousness in the seamless living and dining rooms, which display wood-paneled walls, a large fireplace and built-ins. Crowned by a ceiling with floating light panels, the kitchen offers a pass-thru to the dining room and features wood cabinetry, stone countertops and a built-in refrigerator. This outstanding single-level arrangement spans approximately 2,112 square feet and boasts three bedrooms, two- and one-half baths, an atrium, clerestory windows, fresh exterior paint and a newer water heater. Most rooms open to the outside, including a large primary suite with ensuite bath and a walk-in closet with custom built-ins. Enjoy views of Mount San Jacinto in a private backyard complete with a pool, spa, two covered patios, an open-air fireplace and a generous lawn. Close to Ruth Hardy Park, the home is moments from downtown Palm Springs.
