Discover a distinctive townhouse-style residence in the historic Racquet Club Colony, an intimate gated community of just 20 homes. The community's limited two-story residences are rarely available, and this oversized approximately 1,500 sq ft home offers dramatic architecture, exceptional privacy, multiple outdoor living spaces, and spectacular mountain views just minutes from downtown Palm Springs. A welcoming entryway leads to a versatile bonus room with a first-floor full ensuite bath, ideal as a home office, den, media room, creative studio, wellness space, or occasional guest accommodations. Thoughtfully separated from the upstairs primary suite, it provides exceptional flexibility and privacy. Beyond, the main living and dining spaces feature travertine tile flooring, recessed lighting, and an effortless connection to the outdoors. The updated kitchen showcases natural wood shaker cabinetry, dark granite countertops, a gray mirrored backsplash, stainless steel appliances, deep undermount sink, and built-in flat-screen TV. Glass sliders open to a private walled patio with a lion head fountain and faux boxwood walls, creating an inviting setting for entertaining or relaxed desert living. A separate terrace off the living room provides additional space for outdoor dining and al fresco enjoyment. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite is the home's architectural centerpiece, with soaring 12-foot vaulted ceilings, walls of glass, and breathtaking ''treehouse'' views of the San Jacinto Mountains. Sliders open to a large private terrace, extending the living experience outdoors and providing a spectacular setting for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or simply enjoying the mountain vistas. A light-filled nook off the staircase offers space for a desk or reading area, while the spacious ensuite bath features a dressing area, large mirrored double closet, and generous proportions rarely found in a residence of this size. In-unit laundry, walk-in closets, under-stair storage, custom wood blinds, and thoughtful upgrades enhance comfort and convenience throughout. Set within lush, gated, fee-simple grounds, Racquet Club Colony offers a serene resort-style setting with pool, spa, cascading waterfall fountain, mature landscaping, covered parking, ample guest parking, and a dedicated dog run. This spacious two-story residence offers a combination of privacy, architectural drama, outdoor living, and mountain views, all just five minutes from downtown Palm Springs.
