P.S. City ID #2944 Primary renter must be at least 25 years of ageThis retro chic vacation home is located in Tahquitz River Estates, in walking distance to trendy South Palm Springs. The property owners are passionate about 1950s architecture and design, particularly the restoration of Vintage Trailers. They tapped into their love of all things mid-century when they reimagined this old 1951 hipster pad - blending vintage styling with modern technology to create a cool, comfortable and very private Palm Springs escape. Occasionally, the owners will leave a beautifully restored Mid-Mod Airstream or Canned Ham in the backyard for our guests’ enjoyment. Perfect for reenacting a scene from Lucy & Desi’s MGM movie The Long Long Trailer. In true Palm Springs-style, the owners respected the home’s architectural pedigree by preserving the iconic concrete floors, stacked stone, and post & beam ceilings. The original floor to ceiling windows have been replaced with fabulous moving walls of glass by Fleetwood - blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living. All new kitchen and baths. Hi-speed internet service. Four flat-screen televisions.THE LIVING AREASNew easy-maintenance kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Open concept dining/living room with stacked stone fireplace, a flat screen television, and a cool mix of retro and new furniture that captures the swank Palm Springs vibe.
