Location: Villa Portofino, Palm Desert, North, Palm Desert, Deserts, California, USA (5 minutes From Eisenhower Medical Center In Rancho Mirage.)
Accommodations: Townhouse, 2 Bedrooms + Den, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4)
This beautiful new 1,729 square foot townhouse is located on a quiet cul-de-sac in Villa Portofino, a charming old-world Tuscan style gated community. It is constructed with meticulous attention to architectural design, using the highest quality materials. Comfort and elegance are key with granite slab and travertine, fine woods and fabrics throughout.
Villa Portofino is in the western section of Palm Desert, half way between the "Big Boxes" on Highway 10 and the Boutiques on Highway 111, just two minutes away from Bristol Farms gourmet market place and Sherman's scrumptious delicatessen. Of course, the shopping mecca of Palm Springs is just 5 minutes up the road.
The Clubhouse is an easy five minute walk from your home, yet when you close your own doors, you will enjoy a sense of quiet privacy and an easy flow from indoor to outdoor living via French doors opening onto a very large covered patio.
Your lovingly maintained unit contains Berber carpet, high ceilings, arches and niches, ceiling fans, large walk-in closets, a wet bar with granite sink in your private library, a spacious kitchen with a breakfast bar, maple shelving everywhere, imported finishes, recessed and under-cabinet lighting, a spacious laundry room, a large master bath with double sinks, and plenty of storage.
The furniture in this unit is all brand-new and quite lovely. We have paid great attention to interior decorating to impart a sense of luxury and elegance. The bed furnishings, linens, and towels are the same quality you would expect to find in a fine European boutique 5 Star-rated Relais or Chateau.
We take great pride in our ownership of this property and it shows. We have prepared this get-away to please the most discriminating guests, and it reflects our own standard of living in Santa Barbara, where we live year-round.
This truly is desert living at its finest! For additional photographs of the Villa Portofino community please refer to the Villa Portofino website.
