Welcome to resort-style desert living at AVONDALE ESTATE, an exclusive, luxurious home in a quiet, gated, private country club community in Palm Desert. It is conveniently located central to all that the Palm Springs area has to offer.
THE HOME IS A MARRIAGE OF COMFORT & PLEASURE WITH DESIGNER ACCENTS: From the original framed artwork adorning the walls, the plush custom-made furniture and tasteful interior designer décor, to the variety of well-appointed rooms in addition to
the soothing pleasures enjoyed while using the large patio/pool/spa/lawn areas, it feels like you're living in your own private resort. The beauty here is in the details, which provide an upscale environment to fully relax in and enjoy with your family and/or friends.
HOME. This expansive 3-bedroom / 5-bathroom home (3,800 sq. feet) sits on a 1/2-acre extensively landscaped property with panoramic mountain views! The home is a very welcoming space, starting with a paver stone driveway which allows parking for six cars (+3-car garage) leading up to an exterior atrium entry featuring a garden and two massive raw granite boulders with water gently cascading down their sides.
GREAT ROOM. Once inside, the house unfolds into an airy open space filled with sunlight. The vaulted exposed wood ceiling brings a warmth to the open-space interior of the combined large Living Room and Dining area. This Great Room also includes a gas burning fireplace and a custom granite-top bar with a sink and mini-fridge (liquor, barware & crystal glasses supplied). Tasteful furnishings, including comfortable soft leather chairs & ottomans, generous-sized and plush sofa & matching chairs, and an elegant dining table, chairs and buffet, creates a rich ambiance. Windows and multiple glass sliding doors highlight a stunning view of the huge landscaped backyard with a showcase Hollywood-style pool, large lawn, palm trees, and the desert mountains beyond.
KITCHEN. The kitchen has every modern convenience available as well as a wide variety of cooking ware, spices & oils, and cooking supplies to make a private chef (available with notice) or all family cooking times easy. A double oven, gas cooktop and plenty of counter space set the stage for some savory moments to be produced. Additionally, there is a center island with a prep sink, a large stocked pantry, and of course the necessary oversized refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher. Mikasa dinnerware, bowls, silverware, glasses, stemware, and extensive serving platters/bowls fill up the custom cabinets & drawers, providing a truly “everything you need” for great dining experiences.
FAMILY & MEDIA ROOM. Adjacent to the Kitchen is a casual dining space with a nice outdoor view, plus there is a breakfast bar that allows for additional seating. This casual dining space then opens up to a Family & Media Room. It has very comfortable designer furniture including a couch, two leather recliners, over-sized floor pillows, which complement the room’s built-in electronics & TV, another bar (complete with movie & game-night treats), a gas burning fireplace and a full-bathroom. The corner of this room also has a built-in granite top desk with a wireless printer and compatible fast Wi-Fi. Four large-panel sliding glass doors (with remote controlled electronic shades) look out to the gorgeous backyard and to the mountains.
MASTER SUITE. The spacious Master Suite has electric shades on all windows & sliding glass door and includes a large walk-in closet with a make-up vanity, a bathroom with a long double-sink vanity, a shower, toilet & bidet, and a separate tub. Unique to the Master Suite is the ultimate sleeping luxury, a Duxiana split-king bed with remote controlled silent motorized adjustable settings (on each side) for your head, back and legs, enabling you to have the perfect sleep. And if sleeping isn’t on the agenda, a 80-inch Smart-TV is available for your viewing pleasure.
BEDROOMS. Second and Third bedrooms, plus the Family Room with a designer queen sofa bed, are all ensuite. The 2nd Bedroom has a king bed, walk-in closet, and a 50-inch TV. The 3rd bedroom has a trundle set of twin beds, mirrored closet, and a 32-inch TV. If needed, the Family Room easily converts into a 4th bedroom with a custom queen-sized sofa sleeper bed with a very comfortable pillow-top mattress, there is also a walk-in closet and a full bathroom with shower.
BACKYARD RESORT. The expansive private backyard with lush landscaping & a very large lawn area, features an oversized (15 x 50 feet) Hollywood style salt-water pool (heating addl.) fed by streaming water fountains. The pool is surrounded by a large pool deck area with stunning panoramic mountain views. Whether it is enjoying lawn games (croquet, bean bag toss, Frisbee, badminton - all equipment supplied), a healthy swim, playing games in the pool, relaxing on the pool pads and chaise loungers, or a soak in the spa during sunset, having a cookout & drinks at the outdoor granite-top bar with built-in barbecue grill and sink, this resort-style backyard is a true delight!
