Built in 1960 is this early Palmer & Krisel-designed unit
at the Sandpiper Condominiums in Palm Desert, CA. With two bedrooms and two
bathrooms, this unit measures 1,522 square feet and features both front and
rear patios with an asking price of $319,900 and monthly HOA dues of $500.

Entry |
The unit is unassuming from the outside, one of the few to
feature a singular entry doorway, while most other Sandpiper models provide
grand double door entries. This unit features a leaded glass door entry that
reads more traditional than mid-century, but an upgrade to a modern door is a
relatively easy fix.

Dining room
|
 |
Dining room features original CMU block wall with inset reliefs |
 |
Living room features nifty mod freestanding fireplace |
The living and dining rooms are in their original great room
configuration, with a pair of floor-to-ceiling glass sliders overlooking the
back patio and Sandpiper common areas. The common wall of the living room is
block, with two-inch relief insets offering texture and pattern to the walls. Also
fairly unique is the freestanding fireplace in the corner of the living room, a
feature not typically found in other Sandpiper units.

Kitchen sits off of dining room |
 |
Glass display cabinets provide additional light to the room |
The kitchen sits tucked off of the dining room at the front
of the unit. Updated in 2007, it features granite countertops, white raised-panel
cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. A set of traditionally-styled leaded
glass display cabinets helps open up the space and provide lighting to the
kitchen.

Den off of master bedroom |
The master bedrooms sits at the rear of the unit, while the
guest room sits at the front. A small den/study is located off of the master
bedroom, offering additional private space. Both bathrooms are vintage, with
original sinks, vanities and medicine cabinets, offering a great retro
throwback.

Rear patio overlooks common area |
 |
Rear patio features red-brick extension |
The rear patio is fairly private while overlooking the
common area, and accessed from both the living room and master bedroom. The
patio also features a shaded covering and a red brick extension allowing for additional
entertaining space. Overall this unit is move-in ready, with lots of
well-preserved vintage features that a definitely worth saving.
