Welcome to 25 Cassis, an extraordinary and elegantly refined residence within Escala, an intimate gated enclave of estate-style homes in Rancho Mirage. Situated on an expansive approximately 16,000-square-foot lot, this nearly 3,800-square-foot, four-bedroom, five-bath residence has a unique history that sets it apart within the community.Purchased by its original and current owners as one of the first homes in Escala in 2007, the residence was given an exceptional level of attention by the builder. With the home intended to showcase the development and help introduce Escala to prospective buyers, the owners received virtually every builder upgrade available at the time. The result is a home with an extraordinary collection of architectural enhancements and custom details that distinguish it from the homes that followed.Those differences are immediately apparent. Dramatic eight-foot doors, graceful arched doorways and expansive archways, beautiful Spanish-style ceiling beams, soaring ceilings and exceptional architectural detailing create a sense of scale, warmth and authenticity throughout the residence. This is a home where the upgrades aren't simply cosmetic--they are integral to the architecture.The expansive living areas were designed for both sophisticated entertaining and comfortable everyday living, with an open, flowing floor plan and excellent separation between bedroom suites. Large windows, as well as sliding and French doors bring abundant natural light into the home and create an effortless connection between the interior and the private outdoor living spaces.The gourmet kitchen continues the home's elevated level of finish with generous cabinetry and workspace, premium appliances and a large center island, opening naturally to the home's principal living and entertaining areas.Four spacious bedrooms and five baths provide exceptional accommodations for owners and guests, while the thoughtful floor plan offers both gathering spaces and privacy.
