3351 E Paseo Barbara

A stunning Donald Wexler designed home in the coveted El Rancho Vista Estates. This house was one of the original model homes for the development. This home sits on a corner lot, with amazing mountain views. It was purchased by the current owners family in the late 1970's, and has not been on the market since! A restoration was done to maintain the silhouette of the Wexler design while updating the interior for better sight lines through to the new pool and the views. Refreshment of the entire mechanical infrastructure was performed with an eye toward energy efficiency, livability, and reliability. The kitchen and great room were opened up and added much needed prep and entertaining space. There are three bedrooms; a primary ensuite, and two guest rooms. Patio access from the bedrooms was added and the bathroom spaces were updated. The rare original fireplace has been maintained and is fully functional. On the exterior, the front has been faithfully maintained with a redesigned driveway and modernized garage. In the rear, the west wall was moved which provided additional yard space and simultaneously enclosed the rear of the garage within the wall's envelope for increased utility. Note that the pool's north side wall mimics the slope of the roof line of the house and leads the eyes to a wider frame of view of the mountain vista. Over 3000 sq ft of decking is provided for outdoor living with nonlinear and turf features added. The rear breeze block wall and entryway lighting fixture were preserved. Don't miss the framed copies of the original sales material on display in the hallway! This is the quintessential Palm Springs home indoor/outdoor living at its best. The property comes furnished with select exclusions; an inventory list will be provided.
