Built in 1963 near the heart of Palm Desert, CA is this
traditionally renovated condominium relatively new to the market. Featuring
three bedrooms and two bathrooms in 2,011 square feet, a private courtyard and
a single-car garage, the asking price of this home is $584,800 with monthly HOA
dues of $495.
The exterior of the home features Sandpiper character defining
scored concrete block, with a flat raised roof floating above clerestory
windows. The traditional renovation starts with the single Tuscan-styled front
door with sidelights, an interesting contrast replacing what would have been a
pair of flat double doors.

The entry opens into a travertine-lined entry way which
leads into the rear-facing living room. Walls of glass overlooking the Sandpiper
common area fill the living room with natural light, while high clerestories
allow the ceiling to float above the space.

The kitchen has been opened to the living room, and features
newer dark cherry cabinets, carrying forward the traditional stylings of the
renovation. Granite countertops and stainless steel appliances accent the
space, while a built-in fridge disappears behind panels which match the
cabinetry. The dining room sits open to and just off the kitchen, and has large
floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the private interior courtyard.

The courtyard is overlooked by two generously proportioned
bedrooms, both featuring Krisel’s signature walls of glass overlooking the
space. Both bathrooms have been renovated in a similar fashion as the kitchen,
with cherry cabinetry, traditional fixtures and granite countertops. The third
bedroom has been converted to a den, opened to the living room, providing large
built-in cabinetry and overlooking the Sandpiper common area.

The interior courtyard has also received a traditional
makeover, anchored with a large, ornate fireplace with stacked stone veneer and
wrought iron accents. Travertine lines the courtyard, and a built-in barbeque
and bar area sits to the side of the space.
The traditional renovation of this home doesn’t entirely
acknowledge the midcentury roots of the property, but should appeal to those
with similar tastes as the current owner.
