About this condo
If you're a mid-century modern ("Mid-Mod") aficionado, looking for a clean, bright, affordable home with fantastic views in an ideal location in Palm Desert, look no further! This low density development, Sands and Shadows #1 ("SS1"), was thoughtfully designed by Southern California architect Harold Bissner Sr. to offer abundant open space while preserving striking views of the mountains and a true feeling of privacy within and around each of the units. Unit #19, along with the entire SS1 development, is replete with many features which typify the Mid-Mod movement in architecture, including post and beam construction, wide expanses of glass, exposed beamed ceilings, low slung gracefully sloping rooflines, with carefully integrated carports. Before becoming one of the first residents of Sands and Shadows #1 after it was constructed in 1960, Bissner was known for his designs in the Los Angeles area, including Pasadena. SS1 is a 27 unit development surrounding a large, beautifully renovated central pool with ample green space and landscaped grounds for the residents' enjoyment and serenity. Rare for multi-family homes (which often have only 1 or 2 exterior exposures), #19 has a north, south, and west exposures, with a south-facing patio, and windows looking out to both the Santa Rosa and Little San Bernardino mountains. With plenty of upgrades and a desirable floorplan, #19 is move-in ready, and offered fully furnished. The primary bedroom is generously sized, feeling very secluded and private, and also offers its own ensuite bath. The guest bedroom (with the second bath located just across the hall from it), is currently used as a den, but the space was designed to be flexible so that it could either be open to the living area or easily closed off with a wall or Shoji screens for privacy. The bright and airy living areas are "open concept" with sloping, open-beamed ceilings and glazing on three sides, including a large south-facing window over the kitchen sink, and a big picture window in the dining area looking out to the mountains. The updated kitchen has tasteful granite countertops and light wood cabinetry. Tile floors extend throughout the condo. Both baths have been nicely upgraded. Inside laundry, and close-by covered parking are conveniences rarely found at this price point for a single level condo in South Palm Desert. SS1 is in a fantastic location, just south of El Paseo with its plethora of dining, art galleries, and boutique shopping options, including Tommy Bahamas (restaurant and store), Coda Gallery, Il Corso, Jensen's Fine Foods, Pacifica Seafood Restaurant, Louis Vuitton, and many others! Popular hiking trails, such as Bump and Grind are also close by. The location simply doesn't get much better!
