Custom built in 1980, this 3,154 square foot contemporary masterpiece epitomizes the modern style and luxury of Palm Springs.

This exceptionally appointed home is stylishly outfitted with organic fabrics, custom window shades, natural woven rugs, handcrafted wood furniture, designer lighting and exquisite fixtures and finishes. This comfortably casual atmosphere offers the warmth and welcome of a true home.
INDOOR LIVING SPACES
The dramatic long entryway beckons you into the grand open living space with soaring vaulted wood beamed ceilings, setting the tone for an idyllic experience. Designed to facilitate relaxing and easy entertaining, the sweeping open floor plan provides a seamless flow between inside and outside using floor-to-ceiling glass walls and sliding doors to take advantage of the stunning mountain views and abundant Palm Springs sunshine. The spacious living room with large deep cushioned sofas, lounge chairs and romantic string chandeliers is the ideal gathering spot for family and friends.

Adjacent to the kitchen and living room, the chic sun soaked dining area is a perfect spot to enjoy early morning coffee or an enchanting dinner with views of the pool-scape and majestic mountains.
OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES
The crown jewel of this property is the resort-style outdoor playground allowing you to experience the magnificent desert climate. The completely private and meticulously maintained grounds are walled and gated to provide the utmost seclusion. Lovely desert gardens abound filled with towering palms, ficus hedges, fig & citrus trees, cacti and many varieties of succulent plants. The glass enclosed raised seating enclaves offer several outdoor spaces for lounging, dining or sunning. By day, indulge in a refreshing dip in the 40-foot sparkling SALTWATER pool perfect for swimming laps or floating aimlessly. Soak in the sun and terrific mountain views from the sleek modern lounge chairs. If shade is what you crave, relax in the comfortable seating area of the raised cabana under an awning and ceiling fan with a cool beverage. At sunset, enjoy dinner or cocktails seated around the outdoor dining table overlooking the pool and breathtaking vistas. Indulge yourself in the tranquil 6-person jetted spa with cascading spillway under the canopy of twinkling desert stars. Or gather for conversation in the comfortable seating of the outdoor living room with friends around the gas fire pit. There’s also a Traeger pellet BBQ, outdoor shower, bocci ball court and pool floats to complete the perfect outdoor experience.

The primary bedroom sanctuary located on the top floor features a lavish King sized bed, romantic chandelier, automated shades for cocoon-like privacy, 65” smart TV, massive walk-in closet and panoramic views of the majestic mountainside. The spa-like ensuite primary bathroom boasts a deep soaking tub, private water closet, double floating vanities with plenty of storage and an oversized luxurious shower with multiple shower heads and body jets. There is also convenient access to the outdoors and a private canopy day bed for taking afternoon naps.
The guest bedroom suite also offers a King sized bed with hotel-quality linens and plush pillows as well as a 55”smart TV. The ensuite bath provides another sumptuous bath and shower with the same multiple shower heads and body jets.
