Property Description

Attention Tikiphiles! Here's your opportunity to own one of the forty coveted condos in Royal Hawaiian Estates (Donald Wexler, FAIA & Richard Harrison, AlA, 1961-1962) that feature Polynesian-inspired details. America's fascination with Polynesian culture was fueled in the 50's and 60's by novels and movies like "South Pacific" in 1958, by veterans returning from war, and the granting of statehood to Hawaii in 1959. Angled ridge beams with "Tiki-apexes", and beam extensions at patios (dubbed "Flying Sevens") form stylized stabilizers reminiscent of those found on outrigger canoes used throughout the islands of Southeast Asia. Designated Historic District No. 2 by the City of Palm Springs, February, 2010. This historic district designation means the property may qualify for property tax relief under the Mills Act. The unit sits on Fee Land that you own (no land lease). Original features include kitchen cabinets, formica countertops, jalousie windows, metal sliding glass doors and terrazzo floors in the kitchen and dining area. The unit features a spacious, private patio on the back side of the community. Newer HVAC, Water Heater and Carpet.
