Rare on the market today, a truly vintage, authentic and intact historic home by famed Palm Springs architect Herbert W. Burns. With 2,258sf of indoor living space, the Van Horn Residence sits on a grand, corner lot of nearly 10,000sf - on fee land you own, no lease - with stunning, unobstructed mountain views. The historic integrity of the home is apparent at every turn and features many of Burns' character-defining design elements: stacked sandstone pylons, vertical poles, steel casement windows, stacked stone fireplace, original door knobs, glowing colored concrete floors, glass block and original lighting. With rooms bathed in an abundance of natural light, an indoor/outdoor style comes to life in every room. The large, striking living room features walls of windows on two sides. The renovated kitchen is open to the home's public spaces and features large plate glass windows with views to the pool and the San Jacinto mountains. All three bedrooms are en suite - two feature large vintage bathrooms and dressing areas with original built-in cabinetry. The large, separate casita has a sitting area and a plumbed room that held its original kitchen. The backyard features a large pool, a separate spa, and a great covered patio from which to relax, entertain and enjoy the mountain view. Freshly painted inside, other upgrades include foam roof, new equipment and replastered saltwater pool 2015, new main house HVAC in 2018, a new mini-split system in the casita, and a 56-panel solar system that powers the home. Thanks to the tireless efforts of the local preservation community, Herbert W. Burns is recognized as one of the preeminent architects in Palm Springs - and this home is truly one of his finest. The home is covered in the 2018 tribute journal of the architect's work, The Design of Herbert W. Burns. Van Horn, for whom the home is named, was a writer, from one of California's oldest families and an actress at Paramount. The property is listed by the City of Palm Springs as an eligible historic site with potential for Mills Act and its substantial property tax savings. With Albert Frey's historic Bel Vista tract, the home of John Porter Clark, the El Mirador Hotel and other noted architecture nearby, the property is set amidst some of the finest historic properties in the City and represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own and live in one of Burns' gracious, signature homes in an important area of Palm Springs.
