Property Description
Unique opportunity to own one of the premier homes in iconic Canyon View Estates. Designed by renowned mid-century architect William Krisel, this architecturally significant 3-bedroom, 2-bath end-unit condo is rarely available and ideally positioned on a quiet, private cul-de-sac. Perched on a bluff, the home offers exceptional privacy and phenomenal, unobstructed views across Palm Springs to the windmills and surrounding mountains. The spacious great room showcases the signature "umbrella" ceiling, clerestory windows on all four sides, an iconic concrete-block accent wall, and walls of glass that flood the space with natural light. Sliding doors open to a private patio, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. The beautifully updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, countertops with overhang, under-cabinet lighting, and premium appliances, including a Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, Kitchen Aid range and dishwasher, Sharp microwave drawer, and a built-in wine refrigerator. The generous primary suite offers built-in closets and an expanded spa-inspired bath with custom cabinetry, dual sinks, a walk-in shower, and a skylight. A spacious second bedroom with a walk-in closet connects to a versatile bonus room ideal for a studio or gym. The third bedroom, currently used as a den/office, includes a large pocket door for flexibility. Extensive upgrades include new HVAC and ducting; updated plumbing with water lines relocated from the roof, tankless water heater, and new fixtures; new electrical wiring, lighting, outlets, and panel; new windows (including clerestory) and sliding doors; new insulation; tile flooring throughout; remodeled bathrooms; freshly foam-coated roof; new front door and solid interior doors; concrete walkway and rear patio; exterior storage improvements; landscaping and lighting; and fresh paint. Immaculate common grounds feature a sparkling pool and spa with stunning mountain and greenbelt views, completing the quintessential Palm Springs mid-century lifestyle.
