A ’10’ location, designer-done to the 10s! Welcome to this “no expense spared” ultra-chic MCM retreat in downtown Palm Springs’ best neighborhood. “Villa de Las Palmas” is the ultimate vintage complex (only 24 units) designed in 1962 by noted architect Jo Paul Rognstad, sitting at the base of coveted Old Las Palmas, which couldn’t be more prime — mere steps to the heart of high-end of Uptown (featuring the best design stores, restaurants, and boutiques, including Trina Turk just around the corner). The building features just-refreshed pool, spa and grounds; it also has a gated subterranean garage (1 space) with large private storage closet. As for the 2bd/2ba unit itself, it is truly sublime. The seller took it down to the studs in 2021, renovating everything to perfection: all new insulation, plumbing, electrical, shower pan, central A/C, slider windows, energy-efficient patio doors with electric shades, and beautiful porcelain tile flooring throughout. The custom kitchen has soft-close cabinets with hidden drawers, Colorquartz countertops, and all new range, fridge, and American Oven; a separate laundry closet holds a large stackable washer/dryer. The bathrooms feature mosaic Carerra shower tiles with porcelain wall tiles, and an oversized soaking tub (guest). In the living room, a custom Murphy bed functions as an elegant wall unit…which converts to a queen bed for extra overnight guests. There’s also a sleek gas fireplace. And the piece de resistance? A massive private patio boasting beautiful views, a fountain, fire pit, and retractable awning to protect you from the sun, plus misters to keep you cool — all waiting for your divine al fresco dinner parties. Unit 10 is also perfectly positioned at the end of the complex with only one common wall, and just a few feet from the Hermosa gate – providing for greater ease of entry and more privacy. It’s also impeccably furnished – courtesy of celebrated designer Robert Nieto of Collaborative House – and most of the furnishings are included in the sale. Bonus: located on Fee Land (you own it). Whether you’re looking for a weekend getaway from L.A., a pied-a-terre to escape the cold from the northeast, downsizing in or to the desert, or want a second home that can double as an income rental (the HOA allows 30 day or longer rentals)…this home is truly turn-key, move-in ready – and ready to impress. Don’t miss this opportunity!
