This classically beautiful property is a jewel in the heart of Rancho Mirage. Once you enter through the entry gate you are impressed with the beauty of the landscaping and garden like setting. Inside the lovely wooden double door entry, soaring ceilings welcome you to an elegantly appointed home that feels like a Mediterranean villa. A dramatic fireplace in the living room is perfect for entertaining on cool desert evenings. Another fireplace warms the family room. Lovely patios surround the home and a loggia with fireplace is very special for outdoor enjoyment. The gourmet kitchen has high end appliances, marble quartz counter tops, beautiful custom cabinetry and a cozy breakfast eating area. The formal dining room has a dramatic chandelier and looks out to the beautiful loggia with fireplace and surrounding yard. A spacious master retreat also opens to a charming patio. 3 other bedrooms each with private baths are luxuriously appointed as well. There is an indoor/outdoor sound system, perfect when poolside or dining al fresco. The casita is currently an art studio and has its own full bath. Just play a charming Italian song through the sound system and you will think you are in the Italian countryside. This is a very special property, elegantly appointed and ready to enjoy the best of desert living.
