Built in 1967 by esteemed developers Roy and Bob Fey, this fantastic mid-century apartment sits within a 4-acre complex in the south of the city, close to the upscale and eclectic neighbourhood of The Mesa and plenty of hiking trails that crisscross Indian Canyons. Step inside and uncover a spacious living area with a wall of sliding doors that open out onto an impressive balcony. An eye-catching arc lamp looms over a lemon-coloured crescent sofa, oriented towards a large blank space on the wall that makes for immersive movie nights once you switch the projector on. The yellow theme continues into the kitchen where you'll find everything you need for home-cooking, and morning coffees can be taken on the balcony over-looking palm and citrus trees. The main bedroom offers an en-suite shower room, a good amount of storage space and access to the terrace, while the second bedroom looks out over the patio and contains a laptop-friendly workspace, plus views of the San Jacinto mountains. This quiet community features four mid-century modern buildings composed of twelve individual units. Each enjoys access to a shared resort-style pool area surrounded by lovely fruit trees and offers plenty of loungers for poolside sunbathing sessions.
