Property Description
Behind the scarlet gate amongst the bougainvilleas is a distinctive 1940s bungalow designed and built by a lumber baron from Oregon and lovingly dubbed the "Bougainvillea Bungalow" by the Cathedral City Historical Society and chosen for their 2012 property of the year. Many tours were given through the home. This home was designed and then constructed entirely of old ponderosa pine from the forests of the Pacific Northwest. All the building materials and lumber were transported by trucks to Cathedral City Cove and were cut on-site. Custom features include wood-framed windows, oak floors, and an impressive rock fireplace. The original builder put a crawl space under the entire house and a crawl space in the attic. Several owners have contributed to its construction over the years; the rock walls, the rock arch with the scarlet door, and brick patios were added. One of the two unique alcoves in the front room was initially built with a door enclosure. They have been used as a sewing room, office, and storage. The main bedroom was originally a covered porch, which was later enclosed, and a bathroom was added. There are two more bedrooms also and a bathroom in the hallway. This home needs TLC. The heating and AC need replacement, and the roof is older. Because the home looks like a cabin, it is timeless and does not look dated. The current price of the home reflects the home needs repairs. The lot is huge and full of possibilities. Very private and tranquil! We are now accepting Conventional and Cash loans.
