Property Description
Nestled against the stunning backdrop of the Santa Rosa Mountains, this 1958 mid-century modern bungalow, designed by renowned architect Richard Leitch, AIA, is a masterful expression of desert modernism, where timeless design meets effortless sophistication.Distinguished by its iconic vaulted ceilings and refined, minimalist lines, this residence captures the essence of mid-century architecture while embracing the serene, sun-drenched lifestyle of the California desert. Offered partially furnished, the interiors are a study in restrained elegance: a double-sided fireplace anchors the expansive great room and adjoining lounge, while two generously scaled bedrooms and two carefully appointed bathrooms offer comfort without compromising architectural purity. Walls of glass usher in natural light, amplifying the home's volume and forging a seamless dialogue between interior and exterior spaces.The outdoor environment is an entertainer's dream. A shimmering pool invites leisurely afternoons, while a vintage Malm fireplace beneath a shaded patio creates a striking focal point for evening gatherings. Whether hosting guests or savoring quiet sunset moments, the outdoor space is both visually captivating and supremely livable. With private outdoor space and mountain views, the property provides a perfect blend of relaxation and inspiration.A detached, thoughtfully designed office provides a secluded retreat for creative endeavors or remote work, blending utility with style in perfect measure. Located just around the corner from ''The River,'' a vibrant lifestyle center with shopping and a movie theater, the property offers convenience that complements its serene setting. Plus, it's just minutes from the upscale shopping and fine dining of El Paseo, offering a rare combination of privacy, elegance, and convenience.This architectural gem is more than a home, it is a living piece of design history. An extraordinary opportunity for the discerning collector of architecture and those who value design, authenticity, and the enduring charm of desert living. (Tierra Del Sol Property Association Fees are just $90 monthly and include a community pool.)
