Description

Designed by Hugh Kaptur, AIA, this mid-century modern home in Palm Springs' Desert Park Estates neighborhood reflects Kaptur's enduring design philosophy of clean lines, post-and-beam construction, and a strong connection to nature. Extensively updated in 2018, the home was modernized for everyday livability while preserving its architectural integrity. Improvements abound, even those you wouldn't immediately notice, like added insulation to the roof, commercial-grade dual-pane windows for sound deadening and energy efficiency, and an owned solar system.Located on a corner lot, this classic home's appealing low-profile elevation and iconic breeze-block screening wall lead to its double-door entry. Inside, ceramic tile with a mable matte finish extend throughout the open floor plan, which includes the living room, front dining area, and a beautifully updated open-concept kitchen. From this seamless entertaining area, windows and sliding glass doors provide an effortless indoor-outdoor connection to the covered rear patio and backyard while allowing abundant natural light to fill the space. The private, resort-style backyard features panoramic southern mountain views, low-maintenance artificial turf, desert landscaping, and a refreshed saltwater pool with newer equipment installed in 2023.Interior upgrades include a well-appointed kitchen with dark Slatestone countertops, rich walnut cabinetry, prep island with ample storage, and a suite of stainless steel appliances. The 1,488 sq ft layout offers three bedrooms and two updated bathrooms. The two stylish guest bedrooms share a hallway bath with playful vintage character, highlighted by a clawfoot tub and flamingo wallpaper.
