With a breezy and bright living area, a sunny garden and bedrooms as comfortable as they are stylish, this mid-century home comes with everything you need to sit back, relax and soak up the desert sunshine. Inside, retro design seamlessly blends with 21st-century comforts to create a contemporary ode to the swinging 1950s and 1960s. Sprawl out on the cushy sofa and catch up on your favourite Prime, Netflix or HBO Max shows. Rustle up tasty meals in the gourmet kitchen while listening to your favourite playlists on the Bluetooth sound system, then gather around the dining table for a delicious dinner. Outside, unobstructed mountain views set the scene for peaceful living. Spend afternoons soaking up the sunshine on the lounge chairs, splashing in the refreshing pool and sipping cocktails on the outdoor sofa. Come dusk, settle around the fire pit for an evening of good conversation and lots of laughter under the stars. When you fancy exploring, you're just a seven-minute walk from the boutiques and restaurants at The River shopping centre, a five-minute drive from downtown Palm Desert and forty minutes by car from Joshua Tree National Park. Add in the countless hiking routes and the myriad of award-winning... golf courses nearby and you'll never have a dull day in this desert paradise.
