This delightfully retro home is quintessentially Palm Springs. It's framed by towering palms, with a sunshine yellow front door and pops of colour throughout the interior. Set across one floor, this home seamlessly flows from the inside out – the expansive glazing at the back opens to reveal an unbeatable fenced back garden, glistening pool with a hot tub and memorable mountain views. Settle down with a glass of wine in one of the many dining areas after cooking up a storm in the outdoor kitchen, or gather around one of the two outdoor fireplaces on cooler evenings. Hikers and golfers alike will be delighted with the trails and courses on offer nearby, and the dazzling lights of downtown are just a five-minute car ride away – or you can hop on bikes provided. This fabulous spot is bound to become your new happy place.
