Property Description
CHARMING 1939 BUNGALOW IN WARM SANDS: A VINTAGE GEM, BEAUTIFULLY RENOVATED FOR MODERN LIVING. Warm Sands is one of Palm Springs' most storied and sought-after neighborhoods, where history, charm, and architectural diversity blend effortlessly. Established in the 1920s, it has long attracted those drawn to Spanish Revival bungalows, mid-century modern homes, and desert retreats steeped in character. With its prime South location, Warm Sands enjoys less wind and more time to soak up the desert lifestyle. A short stroll to downtown puts you within reach of boutique shops, vibrant bars, and top-tier dining. Nestled between Tahquitz River Estates, the Historic Tennis Club, the Baristo neighborhood, and Downtown, this is where old Hollywood glamour meets modern-day convenience.Step into this adorable 1939 bungalow and experience the charm of early Palm Springs, when the city first became a sought-after desert retreat. Full of personality and rich in history, this 3BD/2BA gem blends vintage character with modern upgrades, making it move-in ready. From the stucco exterior and red tile roof to the lush, mature landscaping, perfect paradise. Set on a 6,098 SqFt. lot with a private pool and spa, it's the perfect sun-soaked escape. Best of all, you own the land, no HOA dues.Inside, every detail has been carefully preserved and enhanced to showcase the home's original charm. Fresh paint brightens the space, while new luxury vinyl flooring in the living areas complements its historic character. The adorable kitchen blends old and new with refinished wood trim, new countertops, a modern sink, and updated fixtures. The updated bathrooms stay true to the era with new paint, fixtures, and toilets, while the bedrooms feel cozy and timeless with fresh paint, new ceiling fans, and plush carpet. Handcrafted closet and storage doors with antique knobs add the perfect vintage touch.Outside, this enchanting home truly comes alive. The brand-new saltwater pool and spa offer a private retreat for lazy afternoons or evening swims under the stars, all fully remote-controlled from your phone or tablet. As you unwind poolside, breathtaking views of the San Jacinto Mountains make the setting even more special. The newly landscaped yard, framed by privacy-enhancing ficus trees, feels like a secluded desert oasis, complete with a redesigned rock and decorative granite layout, a new sprinkler system, and a freshly poured pool deck and patio. A new gas hookup for a BBQ makes this the perfect space for lively gatherings or intimate dinners under the desert sky.The best part? Every major upgrade is already done, saving you time, money, and the hassle of renovations. The fully owned 14-panel solar system keeps energy costs incredibly low (last month's bill was just under $15). In the back, there's a stylish office or creative studio with a mini-split AC, new flooring, and fresh paint. No waiting on contractors or unexpected costs, just move in and start living the dream.For those eyeing an investment, Warm Sands remains one of the few Palm Springs neighborhoods where short-term rentals are still allowed.
