The Mesa | Spanish Colonial Revival with Guest Casita and Mountain ViewsNestled against the majestic San Jacinto Mountains, The Mesa has long been one of Palm Springs' most coveted and storied neighborhoods.

Beyond the welcoming entryway, refinished original hardwood floors lead into a step-down living room framed by a bay window and centered around a cozy fireplace. Graceful archways connect the living and formal dining rooms, while an adjacent sitting area offers a relaxed space for media or conversation.The remodeled kitchen opens seamlessly to both formal and informal dining spaces, ideal for modern entertaining. The home offers four bedrooms and four baths, including a private-entry casita with kitchenette and direct access to the pool--perfect for guests or extended stays.Outdoors, the generously sized backyard unfolds as an entertainer's paradise. A charming patio off the dining room invites intimate after-dinner conversations, while a dining pergola beneath the stars and a rustic steel fire feature create an ambiance of desert elegance. Completing the scene are a classic swimming pool and spa, all set against the dramatic backdrop of the rugged mountain range.A rare opportunity to own a piece of Palm Springs history--where Spanish Revival architecture meets effortless California living.
