1940s ranch style living in Chino Canyon with sweeping mountain views and a true sense of place, all set within an exceptionally private setting. Nearly one third acre on a quiet street with an elevated approach creates a striking first impression, framed by swaying palms and dramatic desert peaks. 4 bedrooms and 3 baths including a substantial detached casita and excellent separation of bedrooms throughout. Thoughtful updates and freshly painted interior enhance the home's classic character, complemented by a newer HVAC system for year round comfort. Fee Land (you own it) and currently eligible for the city's SHORT TERM RENTAL permit add flexibility for full time, seasonal, or investment use. Big views of Little Tuscany, Chino Canyon, and surrounding mountains unfold from the rooftop deck, especially magical at sunset. A modernist breeze block detail sets the tone as you enter the living room featuring vaulted ceilings and a focal point fireplace. The kitchen with island and adjacent dining area open directly to the saltwater pool and patio, creating effortless indoor outdoor flow and multiple conversation areas. A commercial grade sunshade extends over the patio for comfortable outdoor living, while a whole house water treatment system and reverse osmosis system in the kitchen add an extra layer of quality and convenience. The bright primary suite offers large windows and direct access to the side yard and patio, while Guest Bedrooms 2 and 3 are positioned on the opposite end of the home for privacy. The casita delivers its own living area, kitchenette with breakfast bar, separate bedroom and bath, plus both front and rear doors with easy access to the pool. Low maintenance desert landscaping with lemon, lime, and grapefruit trees pairs beautifully with the setting. You'll enjoy close proximity to Uptown Palm Springs and coveted neighborhoods including Little Tuscany and Vista Las Palmas. Once home to Hollywood actor Tom Neal, best known for his role in Detour, this property captures the enduring spirit of Palm Springs golden era living.
