MAGNIFICENT 4 bed, 4.5 bath home with CASITA behind the gates at Escala North – a boutique community of estate-style properties in Rancho Mirage! This architectural home benefits from a talented designer’s touch and includes tall ceilings, an open floor plan, great separation of bedrooms, West-facing mountain VIEWS, an ultra-private backyard delivering a resort-style pool and spa with swim lane, plus a mix of formal and casual living areas. HANDICAP ACCESSIBILITY was a priority during the home’s construction, from the pool’s custom ramp, albeit subtle, to interior grab bars, the width of doorways, walk-in showers/tubs and much more! Upon arrival, guests feel a WOW FACTOR – large beams overhead, arched doorways, and perfectly positioned columns begin to tell the story. A handsome fireplace takes center stage – framed by backlit shelves. The wet bar is fully outfitted and ready to host a gathering! Glass sliders tuck away ever so easily making for fabulous indoor-outdoor flow to the patio with its built-in barbecue and buffet. Go ahead, light up the poolside fire pit – the scene is set. Heading now to formal dining which opens up to an interior courtyard. Don’t miss the outstanding stacked stone walls. The styled up gourmet kitchen is a definite showstopper and Elle Decor ready with outstanding finishes, professional grade appliances, and breakfast area. Take the Matterport VIRTUAL TOUR for a better sense of flow! Just off the kitchen you’ll find a large family room and Ensuite Guest Bedroom currently enjoyed as an office. The West end of the home could easily be reimagined as a Mother-in-Law Suite. There is an oversized walk-in closet and walk-in tub. The Ensuite Primary Retreat is positioned on the opposite end of the home and opens to pool and patio. Wood beams, plantation shutters, and custom built-in closet system will delight. These outstanding built-in closets are found throughout and the spa-inspired bath with walk-in steam shower is yet another example of this home’s accessibility upgrades. There is also a walk-in tub. Junior Ensuite Three and a Den/Office are positioned along a shared hall. The Den/Office opens to the courtyard and could be converted to Bedroom #5. Heading out through the courtyard to Junior Ensuite Four, this space is currently enjoyed as a home gym but makes an excellent (and private) guest room as well. Three car garage. The best of Rancho Mirage and Palm Desert are a short hop away. Enjoy it all.
