554 S Calle Encilia

Accepting Back Up Offers! Welcome to 554 Calle Encilia, an artists’ retreat in the heart of Palm Springs that has spectacular views, stunning natural light, an ideal location in the desirable Warm Sands neighborhood, and authentic architectural integrity! The prior owner of the house was not only a gifted, free-spirited artist, but a thoughtful curator, who made sure that the original character of the home remained intact, and true to its early 20th century California architecture. Built in 1927, this Spanish-style bungalow exudes charm and warmth. There are seamless indoor/outdoor connections between the living areas and bedrooms to the ample front and back yards. The large, covered veranda along the front of the house offers drop-dead gorgeous views of Mt. San Jacinto. The pool is strategically located in the spacious back yard to allow breathtaking mountain views while you’re poolside.The stately living room, anchored on one end by a large, elegantly detailed and proportioned masonry fireplace, has a lofty open-beamed ceiling. These features, along with beautiful wooden “French-door” style windows that grace the living room and both bedrooms, two additional south-facing wooden windows flanking each side of the fireplace, and two large wooden windows in the cozy dining room, allow the house to be filled with natural light, giving it a sunny, open and “airy” feel throughout. Colorful Mexican-style tiles adorn the countertops of the kitchen and bathroom. The two bright, comfy bedrooms open to the private back garden and pool. The pool, rear gardens and adjacent lounging areas afford incredible mountain views to both the south and west. The planting areas in both the front and back yards, both of which are fully fenced, provide a good foundation for creating a desert oasis of your choice (tropical, desert, etc), while maintaining a generously sized driveway for off-street parking. For biking enthusiasts, an entry point to the CV Link is just a few blocks away.For anyone who desires to be close to the “action”, 554 Calle Encila is in an enviable location. Museums, many downtown shops, bars, and restaurants are less than a mile away. You can enjoy so much dining, shopping, nightlife, and so many of Palm Springs favorite spots without getting in the car! If you’re looking for an adorable Spanish-style home in a prime location in Palm Springs, you’ll definitely want to check out 554 Calle Encilia.
