Tucked against a tranquil hillside of Palm Desert, just moments from the shops, dining, and entertainment of El Paseo, this custom-built residence blends artful design with modern luxury. Originally constructed in 2000 by acclaimed novelist and artist John Weston as his private retreat, the home offers a rare balance of privacy, comfort, and sophistication.Recently enhanced by a $300,000 renovation, the property now features a reimagined chef's kitchen, wine pantry, laundry room, garage, and landscaping, along with the transformation of the large fourth bedroom--currently serving as a media room yet easily converted back into an attached casita.Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the home showcases 10 and 14 foot ceilings, Italian porcelain and wood flooring, and abundant natural light. The saltwater lap pool and spa invite serene outdoor living, complemented by slate patios, outdoor fireplace, tranquil garden fountain, and sweeping mountain, desert and city views.Notable features include an owned solar system, refrigerated and insulated walk-in wine and beverage pantry, whole-house water softener, reverse osmosis filtration, and an air-conditioned garage equipped with two hydraulic car lifts--allowing parking for up to four full-size cars.Each of the four bedrooms offers a private ensuite bath (one with steam shower) individual climate and sound controls, ensuring comfort and privacy for all. Every exterior door is crafted from wood, many as elegant French doors opening to the home's inviting outdoor spaces.Located within the gated community of Vista Paseo on approximately one-third acre of fee-simple land, this home embodies desert living at its most refined--private, artful, and designed to entertain beautifully.Call listing agent for your private showing.
