Set in the heart of Palm Springs' iconic Movie Colony East, this stylish desert retreat invites you to fully embrace the vibrant, outdoor-driven lifestyle the city is known for. Whether it's morning walks beneath palm-lined streets, afternoons by the pool, or evenings entertaining under the desert sky, this updated home offers the perfect home base for living the Palm Springs life. Situated on an expansive 10,000+ sq. ft. lot, the 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers approximately 1,630 sq. ft. of thoughtfully updated living space designed for comfort, connection, and easy indoor-outdoor flow.

The updated kitchen is ready for everything from casual brunch before a bike ride to lively dinner gatherings, complete with Quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, a statement backsplash, and premium appliances including a Bosch dishwasher and GE Profile refrigerator and range. The primary suite is designed as a calming retreat after an active day, offering a generous walk-in closet and a flexible bonus space ideal for a home office, workout nook, yoga studio, or quiet reading lounge. Smart improvements behind the scenes add year-round comfort and efficiency, including a newer HVAC system (2021), dual-pane windows and doors, a 200-amp electrical panel (2017), and 22 owned solar panels installed in 2018. Step outside and the lifestyle truly begins. The private backyard is designed for sun, movement, and connection featuring a large pool and raised spa, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with grill, sink, bar, and built-in ice chest, plus a lush lawn and fire pit lounge perfect for gathering with friends after a day of golf, hiking, tennis, or exploring town. All of it framed by sweeping views of the majestic San Jacinto Mountains. The opportunity extends beyond today's enjoyment. The property also includes plans for an approximately 800 sq. ft. expansion, envisioning a new family room with bar, dining area, laundry room, and half bath, along with a private studio casita with its own entrance, kitchenette, bathroom, and patio ideal for hosting guests, accommodating extended stays, or creating a flexible live-work or rental space. From morning swims and sunny afternoons to sunset cocktails and starlit gatherings, this home captures the energy, ease, and year-round outdoor spirit that make Palm Springs one of the desert's most sought-after places to live.
