Welcome to this charming and historic La Quinta Cove home! The Desert Club was a luxurious resort built 100 years ago. Guests included Rita Hayworth, General George Patton, Alan Ladd, Kirk Douglas, Errol Flynn, & others. The resort built 63 Spanish Revival bungalows. This one was owned by a silent movie star, Tommy Hicks. These romantic casitas are rarely for sale & are adorned with red tile roofs & handmade red tile floors. This home has an extended driveway for additional car or large rv & motorcoach parking. The kitchen has KitchenAid café style appliances-flanked by 2 wine chillers. Heat/AC thermostats are in each room. This allows true indoor/outdoor living-the home can be opened up during the warm desert days, while keeping the bedrooms cool. The clever layout (see floorplan) allows for flexibility. The hall doors can be closed to make both bedrooms ensuite units, with private baths. The Den-originally a small bedroom-now opens to the living room with French doors. This expands living room space, or can be used as a guest room. The brick fireplace provides an atmosphere that cannot be delivered by today's cheap metal inserts. Mature landscaping immerses you in beauty & privacy, framing mountain views. The heated saltwater pool eliminates the addition of chlorine. Saltwater pools do not dry your skin, & saves hundreds of dollars on chemicals and maintenance. No HOA dues! The efficient HVAC system, pool equipment, plus being in IID electric, keep the utility cost low.
