Description
The Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Gulick House, this post and beam was built in 1962 by renowned architect Hugh Kaptur. One of the last remaining mid century modern architects, his career spans five decades and includes such notable works as the Steve McQueen house and the William Holden Estate. Featured in Dwell, this house was meticulously restored by Chris Salay, an expert in this field. Architectural features include the double sided fireplace, block walls and floor to ceiling windows, with Hugh Kaptur's signature beams. The kitchen has been updated with Bertazonni appliances but maintains the original footprint with all cabinetry replicated in walnut. All of the bathrooms were renovated with modern fixtures that include Hansgrohe, Dornbracht and Duravit. Large patios embrace indoor/outdoor living, watch a film in the large pool cabana complete with powder room and outdoor shower. The amoeba shaped pool (re-plastered with pebbletec and retiled) is surrounded by a lush California native garden and another deck in the lower yard has built in seating. A spacious master suite has its own private patio perfect for morning yoga or enjoying a cocktail, an en suite bathroom with changing area and walk in closet. Additional amenities include a Sunrun solar system installed in 2019 that has been paid in full (worth in excess of $100,000), cameras and alarm system, and an EV charger. Gated and situated on a massive 13,000 sq ft lot on a quiet cul de sac, this house is ideally located in coveted South Palm Desert. Set against the dramatic San Jacinto mountains and walking distance to El Paseo shopping district, explore art galleries, vintage stores and luxury brands or take advantage of the many recreational activities Palm Desert offers such as hiking, cycling, horse back riding, golf and tennis. An oasis in the Sonoran desert, don't miss this opportunity to own a significant architectural home.
