Description
MAJOR PRICE ADJUSTMENT! Discover the unparalleled allure of this meticulously restored Spanish Estate, a true gem that stands as the only one of its kind in all PS. Nestled in the historic EL MIRADOR neighborhood, mere minutes from the village, this residence underwent a remarkable renovation by the previous owner with additional enhancements by our current seller. Meticulously and authentically restored, expanded with no expense spared, its unique architectural elements were sourced from historic structures in Spain, Italy, Portugal, and France (see photo captions), seamlessly integrated into the design. This romantic home, boasting approximately 4200 sq ft, offers 3 bedrooms (including a casita), a formal living room with statuesque fireplace and vaulted ceiling, adjoining a lofted den/office. The kitchen with custom cabinetry and design is extended with a breakfast nook, situated alongside the formal dining room. The walled, private estate exudes ''OLD WORLD CHARM,'' a rare find in the desert. Step into the enchanting backyard oasis featuring a pool area surrounded by beautiful gardens, sitting areas, a fireplace, and fountains, all with the majestic San Jacinto mountains as a captivating backdrop. With owned solar and four fireplaces, this residence is a testament to refined living. A ''MUST SEE'' to truly appreciate the meticulous attention to detail that defines this extraordinary property. See 'Documents' for a List of Improvements.
