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 original tile roofs & beautiful handmade red tile floors. The kitchen has a KitchenAid fridge & range-flanked by 2 wine chillers, for those that love cooking. Heat/AC thermostats are in each room. This allows true indoor/outdoor living, as 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 double French doors. This expands living room space, or can be used as a guest room. The wood burning fireplace provides an atmosphere that cannot be delivered by today’s cheaper metal inserts. Mature landscaping immerses you in beauty & privacy, framing mountain views. The heated saltwater pool does not require the addition of chlorine. Saltwater pools do not dry your skin, & save hundreds of dollars on pool chemicals and maintenance. No HOA dues! The energy efficient HVAC system, pool equipment, plus being in IID electric, keep the utilities in this home low.
