Map & Owner's Profile
1936 Charming Spanish Casa and Casita--Luxuriously Updated
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Ruth Hardy Park
I was visiting Palm Springs with my cousin, who lives out in the high desert.
We had a great time hiking, dinners, the Thursday street fair, and the usual girl talk.
I made the "mistake" of picking up a real estate catalog on the way home. When I saw the picture of this charming house, it was love at first sight.
I am thankful that our family now has a lovely place to go to relax,. We hope our guests will enjoy it as much as we do.
The Unique Benefits at this House with Separate Casita
This home is a little private paradise blocks from the "action" in downtown Palm Springs and a block from Ruth Hardy Park.
Or a short drive to the Tram, airport (5 minutes), hiking, casinos, golf courses, more shopping.
After a hard day on the golf course or shopping at the outlet malls, you are back at home for a short swim, reading beside the fountain in the backyard, or preparing a special meal on the grill.
Maybe relaxing in the spa with your favorite beverage is all you'll be up for after all that fun during the day.
Open-air courtyard with view of mountains. Get coffee at Koffi. Cafe Chocolate for delicious treats, gelato, lunch--tell owners Jessie and John I say hello. More stores.
Palm Canyon Drive is closed off each Thursday evening 7-10pm for a street festival with local artisans, produce stands, live entertainment and more. From Alejo to Barristo Roads.
Owner's Map of Ruth Hardy Park
My husband and I live in Washington, DC. I am a local, having lived inside the beltway (since it's been built, that is) all my life.
We have two sons, one away at college and the other a senior in high school.
We also have several guinea pigs and box turtles, but they plan to stay at home.
How did we get to Palm Springs? I re-connected with my California relatives several years ago when our family spent a couple of summers in the San Diego area.
