This 1937 Spanish-style stunner has been completely refreshed to blend vintage glam with modern amenities.

It’s easy to envision Cary Grant sipping a cocktail in one of the property's many stylish spaces.
The sumptuous living room is anchored by a grand fireplace adorned with bronze tile and intricate wood detailing, vaulted ceilings, comfortable lounge areas and a bar. The house boasts four beautiful bespoke bedrooms, each with a flair of their own, three with French doors. One of the elegant bathrooms has a separate shower room and dual shower heads, the other a grand oversized clawfoot tub. Brand new designer kitchen with enviable appliances connects to a dining room with more French doors that open to the completely private and expansive front yard. That’s where you’ll find the stunning sapphire-tiled pool and breathtaking views of the world famous San Jacinto Mountains, huge shaded lounge pods, BBQ, and a dreamy grass-roof palapa over a long table for year-round al fresco dining. Or grab a good book and head to the private backyard draped in jasmine for respite beneath the orange tree.
