WOW! Nearly half a century since it was last offered, this Old Las Palmas property stands as a RARE opportunity in one of Palm Springs' most storied neighborhoods, full of POTENTIAL for those looking to take this magnificent property to the next level. Built in 1938 and cherished by only two families, 279 North Via Las Palmas offers nearly 5,000 square feet of living space set on just over half an acre. Walled and gated, the estate captures dramatic mountain views. Inside, tall ceilings and handsome built-ins highlight the formal living room anchored by a two-sided fireplace that opens to the dining room. Don't miss the hidden closet tucked behind a bookcase! The dining room connects to a bar aglow in neon beside the family room that opens to the covered patio and gardens. The kitchen with butler's pantry leads to a dedicated wing once home to staff quarters, while the cheerful breakfast room enjoys views of the landscaped grounds. The ensuite primary features a sitting area, two bathrooms, and secluded patios framed in breeze block. Guest suites line the central hall, each with their own bath. The pool area is quintessential PALM SPRINGS LIFE framed by a guest house with two ensuite bedrooms and a pool house featuring dual showers. VIEWS from the grounds are breathtaking and could be even more fully recognized with thoughtful enhancements. Lots of room to take things to a new level! Owned solar in place. The best of Uptown Palm Springs is just moments away.
