Newly improved and ready for move-in, this stunning 1956 example of Mid-Century Modern architecture in Rancho Mirage's Magnesia Falls Cove. Designed by the legendary Alexander Construction Company and built by television and radio star Art Linkletter, the model-caliber residence offers exceptional privacy, gorgeous mountain views, and an ideal mix of period-perfect and on-trend appointments. Approximately 2009 square feet with three bedrooms (4th bedroom used as an office) and two upgraded baths, the single-level design reveals the open, bright and seamless living spaces that continue to draw so many to MCM style. Its former ADU has been restored to an attached two-car garage with air-conditioning that can serve as a studio, gym, office and more. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame pool and mountain vistas in a spacious living room with stone fireplace and a dining room that opens to an intimate patio. Cut the commute by conducting business in a view-enhanced office at the front of the home, and embark on culinary adventures in an open kitchen that displays Caesarstone countertops, custom cabinetry, a full mosaic-tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances including a wine refrigerator and five-burner range with double oven. Start and end each day in the privacy of a chic primary suite with generous proportions, an ensuite bath and ample closet space. Vaulted ceilings lend an airy vibe throughout, and tile flooring, new paint, custom lighting, OWNED solar system, dual-pane Solarban windows and a recently resealed roof are featured. A grand homesite extending approximately 13,068 square feet presents a walled and gated front yard with panoramic views, a swimming pool, custom rockscapes and turf-and-concrete patios for impressive entertaining. The backyard offers a private oasis with fragrant citrus trees and large lawns, and the driveway welcomes generous off-street parking. Residents of Magnesia Falls Cove appreciate its quiet ambiance, which belies a location that is remarkably convenient to shops, restaurants and theaters at The River, the opulent Sensei resort, renowned golf courses, and countless attractions in Palm Springs and Palm Desert.

Despite being built in 1956, this property has undergone an extensive and recent renovation, as indicated by the description 'Newly improved and ready for move-in' and the detailed list of upgrades. The kitchen features modern black custom cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, a mosaic tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances including a wine refrigerator and double oven, all appearing virtually new in the images. The bathrooms are also 'upgraded' with contemporary fixtures, dual sinks, and glass-enclosed showers, reflecting current quality standards. Other significant improvements include tile flooring throughout, new paint, custom lighting, an OWNED solar system, dual-pane Solarban windows, and a recently resealed roof. These comprehensive updates align perfectly with the 'Excellent' criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5 years, showing no deferred maintenance and minimal physical depreciation.
Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 13068, living area = 2009.
Iconic Mid-Century Modern Architecture & Pedigree: A stunning 1956 example of Mid-Century Modern architecture, designed by the legendary Alexander Construction Company and built by Art Linkletter, offering significant historical and architectural appeal.
Extensive Modern Upgrades & Features: Newly improved with period-perfect and on-trend appointments, including an open kitchen with Caesarstone countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances (wine refrigerator, double oven), upgraded baths, OWNED solar system, dual-pane Solarban windows, and a recently resealed roof.
Exceptional Outdoor Living & Large Private Lot: A grand 13,068 sq ft homesite featuring a walled and gated front yard with panoramic mountain views, a swimming pool, custom rockscapes, turf-and-concrete patios for entertaining, a private backyard oasis with citrus trees and large lawns, and generous off-street parking.

Cons

Limited Bathroom Count: With three bedrooms (plus a fourth used as an office), having only two bathrooms might be considered insufficient for larger families or frequent guests, especially for a property at this price point.
No Explicit Central AC for Main House: While the converted garage has air-conditioning, the description does not explicitly mention a central cooling system for the main living areas of the 1956-built home, which is a notable omission in a desert climate like Rancho Mirage.
Potential for Older Core Systems: Despite numerous cosmetic and energy-efficient upgrades, the property's 1956 construction year suggests that some core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical beyond what's mentioned) may still be original or older, potentially requiring future maintenance or upgrades not explicitly detailed.
