Description

Designed and built in 1962 by the renowned architecture firm Patten & Wild, this mid-century modern residence captures the timeless elegance of South Palm Desert architecture with clean lines, effortless flow, and a seamless connection between indoors and out. Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the home offers mountain views from both the front and back, exceptional privacy, and a recessed position that enhances curb appeal. Set on an expansive 0.53-acre parcel, significantly larger than most in the neighborhood, the property offers generous outdoor living and room for future development. The backyard is designed for entertaining, with mature landscaping, thoughtful hardscape, and a 20,000-gallon pool featuring a dramatic rock formation and cascading waterfall. Inside, a 2013 renovation updated the home while honoring its mid-century roots. Open living and dining areas flow through six glass sliders to the pool and patio, including direct access from both master bedrooms. The kitchen features Thermador double ovens, a 6-burner cooktop with glass-flared hood, KitchenAid appliances, espresso cabinetry, and a designer-selected palette that reflects refined Desert Contemporary style. Each of the three bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet, and a private office provides a quiet workspace. The home includes a comprehensive smart system with over 50 smart switches, remote-accessible controls for door locks, pool, thermostats, smoke and CO₂ monitors, and irrigation. Offered fully furnished inside and out, it is truly turn-key, with recent upgrades including newly stained concrete, refreshed garden beds, a new pool heater, new pumps for the waterfall and filtration system, an outdoor shower, and backyard misters. Minutes from El Paseo, this property combines architectural legacy, significant privacy, and rare oversized lot with future development potential.
