Big personality. Beautiful proportions. Behind the gates of Escala North in Rancho Mirage! Set on more than one-third of an acre, a dramatic courtyard entry introduces grand interiors and an extraordinary resort-style backyard. West- and south-facing views take in the Santa Rosa Mountains, while a series of waterfalls brings movement and sound to the pool and spa. An oversized covered veranda, multiple conversation areas, built-in barbecue, fire pit and putting green create a fabulous setting for entertaining. A 20-foot pocketing glass door opens the main living area to the outdoors, making the veranda a natural extension of the home. Inside, vaulted beamed ceilings, crown molding and a series of striking archways establish a distinctive architectural character. The formal living room is anchored by a fireplace and wet bar, while the gourmet kitchen features a generous island, pantry and adjacent breakfast area. A comfortable family room offers another place to gather, and the formal dining room, currently enjoyed as an executive office, opens directly to the courtyard. Four bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths include two expansive primary suites positioned at opposite ends of the home, providing outstanding separation and privacy. One primary suite is located just off the family room, while the second enjoys its own separate wing. Guest Bedroom 3 features an ensuite bath, while Guest Bedroom 4 is an attached casita with ensuite bath and courtyard access. A dedicated workout room also opens to the courtyard, adding another dimension to the home's indoor-outdoor living. A large laundry room and three-car garage add to the home's appeal. The Amalfi, Escala North's largest floor plan, offers the scale and flexibility of a substantial private residence with the convenience of low HOA fees and Fee Land (you own it). Ideally positioned off Bob Hope Drive, with Rancho Mirage country clubs, dining, shopping and the best of Greater Palm Springs within easy reach.
