CASE STUDY

After almost 10 months on the market without a successful sale under two different brokerages, we were hired as the third agent to represent 3 Mozart Lane. Within 18 days we secured the front page of the desert sun, as well as 38 other publications including the Robb Report. The key metric was identifying the story behind the house and working with the seller to effectively communicate the extensive renovations to two buyers.

REMARKS

Designed by Donald Wexler protege Narendra Patel and elevated by a meticulous $2.5 million renovation, this 2.4-acre retreat is set within the gated and prestigious enclave of The Renaissance, in the heart of Rancho Mirage. Spanning 8,800 sqft, the estate features a main residence and two detached guest houses, offering a total of 7 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms. The across-the-board renovation spans from new travertine flooring throughout the main home and expansive casita, to all new HVAC systems, to an advanced security infrastructure with 24 cameras, and a complete redesign of irrigation and lighting over the entire property. The interiors feature floor-to-ceiling glass that flood the spaces with natural light and highlight the vaulted ceilings. The great room, where Sonny Bono was endorsed by Gerald Ford, includes a sleek wet bar, while the chef's kitchen is outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances and an oversized island. The property has welcomed and hosted U.S. Presidents, celebrities and other dignitaries throughout its history. Outside, a completely reimagined pool area rebuilt from the ground up presents a zero-edge infinity pool framed by Turkish white limestone. Next to the 18-seat sunken Hibachi bar sits a 450 sq. ft. outdoor kitchen with a Forno Piombo wood-fired pizza oven, a smoker, a fryer and everything in between. Additional highlights include a professional tennis court, serene koi ponds, and a hidden 5,000-bottle wine cellar with a private dining room.
