2BR/2BA + den. 1980 ranch-style home up in Cove of Cathedral Canyon, a stone's throw from Palm Springs, California. Cathedral City's Cove, long known for its bohemian, independent residents and style, and its eclectic mix of mid century architecture is next door to Palm Springs, a short 5 minutes' drive away. The house is 10 minutes from Palm Springs International Airport, with easy access.
The house sits on a quarter-acre lot, with a backyard view, overlooking the floor of the Coachella Valley and the surrounding mountains. The Cove is away from the main road and
above the lights of Palm Springs
on the valley floor, so the neighborhood is still, peaceful, quiet, and at night, the stars put on a breath-taking display.
Why is the rent so cheap? To be honest, the house has not had a face-lift since it was built in the 1980s, and because we have only just bought the house, we have only completed about 2/3rds of the house (bathrooms, backyard fencing & front yard landscaping to be completed). There is no scaffolding. There are no unpainted walls. There is no construction dust. There is no exposed wiring. There are no do-it-yourself holes bashed in the walls. We have simply not updated the whole house.
Everything works. It's clean. The kitchen appliances work just fine. The toilets, baths, and showers all work just fine -- although admittedly, the bathrooms are a designer's nightmare. There's great water pressure. The kitchen cabinets have been resurfaced. There is newly-laid Italian tile in the living and dining rooms. There are newly-laid wood floors in the hallway and bedrooms. The garden has been landscaped into a desert environment with cactii and fully mature palms. The house has been furnished with a tasteful mix of contemporary and antique and many pieces of artwork.
Because we wish to rent the house for at least part of the Palm Springs "Season," we are offering the house at a rate lower than the rates you would pay for the overly-produced, Dynasty-style luxuries in many homes in the Palm Springs area. That is why the rent is cheap.
You have our assurance that the place is perfectly fit for a stay of a month or two. Please feel free to call us, and we would be glad to talk to you about the house, the neighborhood, the region, the rental details.
