T
he over 4,000-square-foot property located in Palm Springs features an open floor plan designed for entertaining. It features six bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Both master suites contain a fireplace, polished concrete floors, imported wallpaper from Germany, and Trina Turk bedding. Several of the bathrooms feature Hansgrohe shower fixtures and faucets, as well as Carrara marble tile flooring. The property has more than enough room to host guests comfortably and was designed with that intention in mind. The midcentury design is clean, crisp, and modern, displaying white flooring, furniture, and fixtures with bright color accents of orange and turquoise. The kitchen and living area are adjoined, creating an open and laid-back environment. The kitchen features Terrazzo tiled floors, Viking oven and stove, 48-inch built-in KitchenAid refrigerator, Bosch microwave, two KitchenAid dishwashers, Kohler sinks, walk-in pantry, an ice maker, and a KitchenAid trash compactor. The kitchen also dawns Carrara marble countertops and sleek, modern cabinets! This modern decor continues into the living area, where unique lighting fixtures hang
from the ceiling and fun accent pieces, like a faux fur plush pillow, are thrown in. In addition to the indoor dining room, there is also an accompanying outdoor kitchen and dining area that is perfect for having a barbecue by the pool. The outdoor dining and lounge area features a kitchen with bar and built-in grill. The countertops are Carrara marble, as indoors, and cabinets are sleek and sophisticated. The backsplash in the kitchen was custom designed by Fireclay Tile, and the passthru windows between the indoor and outdoor kitchens make prepping food and entertaining guests easy and effortless. Wood paneling and pops of color in the decor create a fun and friendly vibe, which is characteristic of its Southern California modernist style. The transition from indoor to outdoor is smooth and seamless, utilizing large glass windows and doors, concrete surfaces, Terrazzo tiling, and wooden beams. Guests are sure to enjoy themselves, especially with a newly constructed lap pool and spa! The pool area features multiple lounge chairs with modern printed design, bringing the orange and turquoise colors from indoor to outdoor. The pool itself includes
a lap lane for those who wish to use it. An umbrella area, dining table area, and outdoor lounge area with a fire pit create endless opportunities for comfort and enjoyment outdoors underneath the Palm Springs sun and sunset. Additionally, the outdoor area of this property comes with a putting green and a private lot that has been walled, gated, and hedged for security. Perhaps the most noteworthy addition to the outdoor area is its “Barbie” concrete flooring where 600 pounds of glitter have been mixed in with the concrete to create a floor that sparkles underneath the Palm Springs sun. After all the fun in the sun has subsided, cozy up indoors and enjoy one of seven HD televisions with surround sound and Ubiquiti Wi-Fi repeaters for a fast and efficient internet connection throughout the entire home. Imagine spending time in Palm Springs at your own property, living life at your own pace. With desert landscapes in the distance, the hot California sunshine beaming down, and mountain vistas that will take your breath away, what more could one need or want? The property at 665 Camino Norte comes equipped with everything needed for relaxation, enjoyment, and entertainment. And, most importantly, it could be yours. LOCALE MAGAZINE 155
