When Oscar Padilla, CEO of CPM Palm Springs Investor, first stepped into 1980 N Los Alamos Rd, he saw more than just a house overwhelmed with years of accumulation—he saw potential. Once a previously cluttered home, this property had become a shell of what it could be. But where others might have walked away, Oscar and his team at CPM Palm Springs saw an opportunity to create something extraordinary—a modern desert oasis.
"It was overwhelming at first," recalls Padilla. "The space was dark, closed off, and filled with clutter. But I knew that with the right vision, we could turn this into something spectacular—a home that truly embraces the beauty of Palm Springs living."
Bringing in Light: A Complete Transformation
The first step was opening up the home. Walls were removed, outdated finishes stripped away, and new floor-to-ceiling windows and a 10-ft folding glass door were installed. Now, natural light floods the space, seamlessly connecting the bright, open interior to the stunning backyard.
"Our goal was to create an effortless flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces," Padilla explains. "We wanted it to feel like the desert landscape was an extension of the home itself."
The Backyard: From Wasted Space to Private Oasis
The backyard, once overgrown and neglected, has been completely reimagined into a resort-style retreat. A brand-new Pebble Tech pool, sleek pergola, covered BBQ island, and a natural gas fire pit set the stage for relaxation and entertaining.
"Palm Springs is all about outdoor living," says Padilla. "We knew this space had to be more than just a backyard—it had to be a destination."
Luxury and Functionality Inside and Out
Inside, the transformation is just as breathtaking. The kitchen, once outdated and cramped, has become a modern showpiece, featuring high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and a sleek, open-concept design that makes it perfect for gatherings.
Bathrooms, once small and impractical, have been completely redesigned into spa-like retreats, offering both style and tranquility. Even the garage, previously used for storage, now boasts an epoxy-coated floor, complementing the home’s polished aesthetic.
Designed for Versatility & Personality
This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is designed for flexibility. One bedroom features a private exterior entrance, making it perfect for a guest suite, home office, or rental space—adding value and versatility for future owners.
To infuse character and celebrate the home’s location, the team at CPM Palm Springs added unique artistic touches, including a custom Elvis mural and a stunning Joshua tree mural, enhancing the property’s connection to the desert landscape.
"We didn’t just want to remodel this house—we wanted to give it a personality," Padilla explains. "Something that makes it stand out while still feeling timeless."
A Rare Palm Springs Opportunity
Set on nearly ¼ acre, with no HOA and no land lease, 1980 N Los Alamos Rd offers true ownership freedom—a rarity in Palm Springs.
"This home deserved more than just a quick flip—it deserved a transformation," says Padilla. "Now, it's a beautifully curated, move-in-ready retreat for someone who wants to experience the best of desert living."
Located just minutes from downtown Palm Springs, this home has gone from forgotten to fabulous, proving that with vision, expertise, and passion, any space can be reborn into something truly extraordinary.
