Welcome to resort-style desert living at AVONDALE ESTATE, an exclusive, luxurious home in a quiet and private Palm Desert gated community that is conveniently located central to all that the Palm Springs area has to offer.

THE HOME IS A MARRIAGE OF COMFORT & PLEASURE WITH DESIGNER ACCENTS: From the original framed artwork adorning the walls, the plush custom-made furniture and tasteful interior designer décor, to the variety of well-appointed rooms in addition to the entertainment and soothing pleasures relished while using the large patio/pool/spa/lawn areas will feel like you're living in your own private resort. The beauty here is in the details, which provide an upscale environment to fully relax in and enjoy with your family and/or friends.

HOME. This expansive 3-bedroom / 5-bathroom home (3,800 sq. feet) sits on a 1/2-acre extensively landscaped property with panoramic mountain views! The home is a very welcoming space, starting with a paver stone driveway which allows parking for six cars (+3-car garage) leading up to an exterior atrium entry featuring a garden and two massive raw granite boulders with water gently cascading down their sides.

GREAT ROOM. Once inside, the house unfolds into an airy open space filled with sunlight. The vaulted exposed wood ceiling brings a warmth to the open-space interior of the combined large Living Room and Dining area. This Great Room also includes a gas burning fireplace and a custom granite-top bar with a sink and mini-fridge (liquor, barware & crystal glasses supplied). Tasteful furnishings, including comfortable soft leather chairs & ottomans, generous-sized and plush sofa & matching chairs, and an elegant dining table, chairs and buffet, creates a rich ambiance. Windows and multiple glass sliding doors highlight a stunning view of the huge landscaped backyard with a showcase Hollywood-style pool, large lawn, palm trees, and the desert mountains beyond.

KITCHEN. The kitchen has every modern convenience available as well as a wide variety of cooking ware, spices & oils, and cooking supplies to make a private chef (available with notice) or all family cooking times easy. A double oven, gas cooktop and plenty of counter space set the stage for some savory moments to be produced. Additionally, there is a center island with a prep sink, a large stocked pantry, and of course the necessary oversized refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher. Mikasa dinnerware, bowls, silverware, glasses, stemware, and extensive serving platters/bowls fill up the custom cabinets & drawers, providing a truly “everything you need” for great dining experiences.

FAMILY & MEDIA ROOM. Adjacent to the Kitchen is a casual dining space with a nice outdoor view, plus there is a breakfast bar that allows for additional seating. This casual dining space then opens up to a Family & Media Room. It has very comfortable designer furniture including a couch, two leather recliners, over-sized floor pillows, which complement the room’s built-in electronics & TV, another bar (complete with movie & game-night treats), a gas burning fireplace and a full-bathroom. The corner of this room also has a built-in granite top desk with a wireless printer and compatible fast Wi-Fi. Four large-panel sliding glass doors (with remote controlled electronic shades) look out to the gorgeous backyard and to the mountains.

MASTER SUITE. The spacious Master Suite has electric shades on all windows & sliding glass door and includes a large walk-in closet with a make-up vanity, a bathroom with a long double-sink vanity, a shower, toilet & bidet, and a separate tub. Unique to the Master Suite is the ultimate sleeping luxury, a Duxiana split-king bed with remote controlled silent motorized adjustable settings (on each side) for your head, back and legs, enabling you to have the perfect sleep. And if sleeping isn’t on the agenda, a 80-inch Smart-TV is available for your viewing pleasure.

BEDROOMS. Second and Third bedrooms, plus the Family Room with a designer queen sofa bed, are all ensuite. The 2nd Bedroom has a king bed, walk-in closet, and a 50-inch TV. The 3rd bedroom has a trundle set of twin beds, mirrored closet, and a 32-inch TV. If needed, the Family Room easily converts into a 4th bedroom with a custom sofa sleeper bed becoming a very comfortable pillow-top queen-sized bed, there is also a walk-in closet and a full bathroom with shower.

BACKYARD RESORT. The expansive private backyard with lush landscaping & a very large lawn area, features an oversized (15 x 50 feet) Hollywood style salt-water pool (heating addl.) fed by streaming water fountains and is surrounded by a large pool deck areas with stunning panoramic mountain views. Whether it is enjoying lawn games (croquet, bean bag toss, Frisbee, badminton - all equipment supplied), a healthy swim, playing games in the pool (water volleyball equipment available), relaxing on the pool pads and chaise loungers, a soak in the spa during sunset, or having a cookout & drinks at the outdoor granite-top bar with built-in barbecue grill and sink, this resort-style backyard is a true delight!

Beautiful getaway
Jim was a great host. The house has a lovely view from the patio which is very nice. The location was perfect as we enjoy going to Palm Springs to LaQuinta for golf and hiking. Thank you, Jim, for rescuing our vacation!

Perfect for us
This home was perfect for us. We stayed for a month. We had some friends and family visit us for a few days each. The guest bedroom is very comfortable and well accompanied. The third bedroom would be more suitable for a child or a single adult. The home is decorated out of a fashion magazine. Jim was our host and is also the owner. He met us upon our arrival with a glass of champagne and appetizers. His Explanation of the workings of the house was thorough and complete.We sensed from the get-go that he was wanted individuals that would treat this property as it was their own. We liked that. If you’re looking for privacy, luxury and an amazing view, this is it.

Luxury Home, Exclusive Avondale Estates, Owner/Manager superb, highly responsive
We rented Zanzibar road property for five weeks to celebrate a special occasion. You will not be disappointed. Extensive perfectly landscaped site, luxurious well appointed pool probably 75 foot long. Spacious rooms, especially central area with living, dining room, bar, in highest quality furnishings. Everything is immaculate. My wife loved walking the Avondale Estate streets doing loops of more than two miles past fine homes on quiet streets. Avondale Estates are located in very accessible area to reach everything in Coachella Valley. You do not always find a fine rental home like this! Enjoy!

About the host

Hosted by Jim Steers

Host profile image
I'm a Marketing / Creative Services executive and my wife Elena is a successful Los Angeles attorney. We love creating homes that reward all of the senses, finding particular joy and satisfaction in sharing them with others. As world travelers we like to bring a mix of the international, both old and new accents, within our home's walls. For us it's all about setting a stage for pure relaxation which everyone can enjoy.

Why they chose this property

We had been visiting the whole Palm Springs area for a long time, from La Quinta and Palm Desert to Rancho Mirage and Palm Springs itself. We kept coming back to Palm Desert and its central location near to the many available enjoyments in the general area including dining & entertainment, shopping, golf, tennis and casinos.

What makes this property unique

What impressed us most was the spacious size of the house, particularly the Great Room and its dramatic vaulted exposed wood ceiling. Then when we saw the Hollywood-stylized pool and the extra-large private backyard with mountain views...we were sold..
