Uptown Design District House | The Citrus House Lush 1930s Spanish Estate in the Movie Colony Walk to Downtown

6 Bedroom House in Uptown Design District, Palm Springs

The Citrus House is named for its many fragrant citrus trees, whose blossoms flood the grounds with their sweet scents during the spectacular spring months. There is a magical wonder about the house that one has to simply bask in to believe. Once owned by Darryl Zanuck, founder of 20th Century Fox, the Citrus House is a peaceful and comfortable oasis just steps from the wonderful downtown shopping and delicious restaurants. A word of warning though...it can be a tough property to leave :)
The comfortably charming main house features two large master bedroom suites. Through a short hallway off the beautifully appointed kitchen, the cozy bunk room (sleeps 4) includes a full bathroom, as well as it's own HD television. The Citrus House also offers 3 guest casitas, each with their own entrance - and each with a full bathroom, HD television, and tastefully designed furnishings. The three casitas are part of a separate structure which also features a view deck, where one can take in the majestic beauty of Mt. San Jacinto and the surrounding peaks.
The Citrus House includes a gourmet, state-of-the-art kitchen, ideal for entertaining and perfect for large gatherings. The large swimming pool and private jacuzzi are surrounded by comfortable designer outdoor furnishings. A large, covered, custom built wooden dining table provides an ideal setting for outdoor meals. Additional amenities include a traditional Bocci Ball court with nighttime lighting, an old steel cauldron outdoor fire pit circled by comfortable padded seating, a covered outdoor fireplace, a brand new outdoor pizza oven, a BBQ grill, 7 beach cruiser bikes, and 1 tandem bike. 1/1
Come, relax, and enjoy the sweetness of the Citrus House!

Summary: We had the best time staying at The Citrus House . The weather was perfect. The house and grounds were immaculate, and being able to pluck a fresh grapefruit from the tree , and enjoy the juice running down my chin was decadent . All of the beds were super soft, cozy, the kitchen was outfitted with everything needed, the pool and hot tub were so welcome . We danced on the rooftop patio to Abba
