From the Agent: "New to the market is this midcentury stunner with a fantastic rental history and $42K of transferable monthly income for spring of 2024. Built in 1956 by Beck Construction Company and located on a quiet cul-de-sac in the desirable El Mirador neighborhood, the art-filled residence exudes style and character. Many authentic vintage features still remain including the original Boomerang kitchen. The highlight of the resort-like backyard is a stunning pool and spa painted by renowned artist Alex Proba. The backyard is peaceful and private with a hedged perimeter, multiple seating areas, and a firepit. The living room has incredible western views of the San Jacinto mountains. You own the land, and with no HOA there's everything to love about this piece of Palm Springs perfection."

The renovated home sits on a spacious lot surrounded by thick hedges and soaring palm trees. Downtown Palm Springs is just a short walk away.
