8 Strauss Ter Architectural enthusiasts will love this beautifully enhanced 5 bed, 5.5 bath, 1.48 acre contemporary estate in South Rancho Mirage! Designed by Hugh Kaptur, AIA, this showcase home features tall ceilings, clerestory windows, floor to ceiling glass windows and sliders, generous indoor and outdoor entertaining areas, great separation of bedrooms, and massive views from the resort-style pool and spa. Paid for solar panels, attached four car garage, pickelball court, and designer landscaping with custom lighting, too! Located off Clancy Lane and behind the gates of The Renaissance, this home is within minutes to restaurants, retailers, entertainment venues and multiple golf courses and country clubs! The large circular driveway with custom water feature sets a scene of magic that is carried throughout this spectacular property. The recently renovated kitchen with walnut cabinetry and solid surfaces looks out to the expansive living and dining areas that all lead to the outside. The large covered patio with gas fireplace is a bonus for sure! South-facing Primary Ensuite offers views, easy access to the pool and spa, and a large spa-like bath with dual sinks, walk-in shower, separate soaking tub, dual private toilet areas, and an oversized walk-in closet. Junior Ensuites Two and Three each have their own private bath and patios that look out to the pickleball court. Junior Ensuite Four also has a private bath and opens to the outside. Separate powder, too! Your guests will especially love the detached Guest House complete with a kitchenette, living room, separate bedroom and bath (Junior Ensuite Five) and multiple sliding glass doors that open to the pool and spa. This is THE one to see!
