This one-time Hollywood writer's retreat at EL MIRADOR is ready for its next chapter! Built in 1942 in the Spanish hacienda style, the CHARM of golden era Palm Springs with its storied past remains alive and well. Old growth trees and San Jacinto Mountain views for days! Don't miss the hidden staircase up to the rooftop perch. Walled, gated, and 1/3 acre. Formal living and dining rooms open to a pool deck with its classic lines and pergola atop the central patio. The living room's classic brick fireplace is framed by French doors. Sconces set the mood. An updated kitchen with traditional finishes opens to a guest room. Two more bedrooms line a hallway on the opposite end of the home. The master bedroom features direct access to the back of the property. In terms of big picture, there is something very special here, a sense of place which sets homes like this one apart. You'll feel it most definitely! Along with the neighboring Movie Colony neighborhood, this part of town enjoys a unique sense of self. Fabulous ''Uptown Palm Springs'' with its notable shops + restaurants is a short hop away. Opportunity knocks. Enjoy it all.
