Palm Springs Homes for Sale - Vista Las Palmas, $995,000.

I got a sneak look at this sexy Vista Las Palmas neighborhood Alexander at 1032 W Capistrano Ct.  last weekend.  It's another exceptional project by H3K Design.  There's beautiful tile work in the baths and kitchen.  Natural light is abundant through the walls of glass which offer enviable views to the mountains, new pool/spa and to the gardens.

There are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in just under 2740 square feet. The home is positioned nicely on the 10,890 square feet lot.

Contact me for more information, or to schedule a private showing.  760.902.3121

New pool & spa. Inspiring views of the mountains.

Large dining area with views to the gardens and pool.

Flexible space for family room, grand piano, etc.?

Palm Springs Homes for Sale - Twin Palms, $642,500.

I saw this 3 bedroom 2.5 bath remodeled Alexander at 1820 S Aquanetta Dr. in Palm Springs' Twin Palms neighborhood today and was impressed by much of the remodel.  The flooring in the common areas of the home is white terrazzo tile with flecks of blue. They are quite nice, as is the sandblasted tongue and groove ceiling, which continues throughout to the eaves and is seen through the clearstory windows.

The architectural metal reveals, which separate the stucco on the exterior of the home, successfully give the home a more horizontal look. They are a very nice touch.  The seamless metal roof ties in nicely.

The pool and spa are situated to take advantage of the mountain views, which are magical, in my opinion.

The remodeled kitchen is open and large and has lots of storage.  There's plenty of room for an island, or a small kitchen table, if an owner wishes.

All bedrooms have a patio door to the pool/spa and gardens.

At 1600sf, this Alexander isn't huge, but it's open and bright and should offer just enough space for many people.  Plus, the outdoor patio space adds a bunch of square footage!

For a private showing, contact me at 760.902.3121

Large remodeled kitchen with mountain views!

Modern fence is clean and creates an enclosed entry patio.

Pool and spa off the living room. A half bath is off the garage.

Summer Vacation in Idaho

I just recently returned from vacation in Idaho, including visits to The Grand Tetons National Park and Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.  We rented a great "cabin" in Driggs ID, on the west side of the Grand Tetons.

It was great to get out in nature and smell fresh mountain air!  

Since this blog is about real estate, I thought I'd share some photos of houses near the cabin (which is really a house!) we stayed in.

View of the "Grand Teton" from the deck of the house.  

One of the bigger homes in the area.  Red metal roof.

Sprawling home with chimney out of river rock.

Our "cabin" Our two poodles loved it!

Another example of "mountain architecture"

William Holden Home in Deepwell Sold!

Palm Springs' Deepwell neighborhood was once home to William Holden.  His former home at 1323 S Driftwood sold last week for $1,349,000. per the Desert Area MLS.

The home is a wonderful example of original mid century architecture with walls of glass, terrazzo flooring, post and beam construction and tongue and groove ceilings. The home sits on almost one acre of land.

It will be exciting to see what the new owner will do (if anything?) to this prize property.
