Built in 1959 as one of the only three original model homes in the area, this distinctive residence was later purchased by the current owner from the original owner's family and has been lovingly preserved with much of it's authentic character intact. Step through the distinctive compressed entry and into an expansive, open-concept living area where the architecture and details capture the spirit of classic mid-century design. The original kitchen cabinetry has a striking architectural quality reminicent of the work of Rudolph Schindler, while warm knotty-pine paneling throughout the living spaces adds an unmistakable vintage charm and cozy cabin feel. Original creative touches-including stained glass incorporated into the sliding glass door and a unique kitchen pendant light-bring personality and a wonderfully retro flair to the home. The refurbished lanai features translucent Lexan panel walls that allow natural sunlight to filter through while providing privacy, creating an inviting space to relax and enjoy the desert surroundings. The current owner had all new copper piping installed throughout! The backyard features more than 20 fruit trees planted by the owner, including pomegranate, mango, cherimoya, kumquat, guava fig, date, apricot, blood orange and lime, along with desert willows, Palo Verde and other native plantings. Authentic, eclectic and wonderfully groovy, this is an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of the area's early architectural history and beautiful desert lifestyle.
