Everything you’d expect from a quintessential home in Palm Springs is right here – the mountain views, the mid-century architecture, a refreshing pool and whimsical styling. The open concept living area is bright and contemporary, with fun fixtures including a sputnik light fitting, eclectic artwork by Cynthia Friedlob and iconic egg chairs. Our favourite room was the den, kitted out with arcade games machines, bumper pool table and comfy sofa – perfect for putting your feet up after a day of hiking or relaxing. Expect nothing but sunny days in the garden: plunge into the water from the diving board, catch some rays on the loungers or seek shade on the patio – the built-in fans are a welcome addition. Fix a cheese board in the gourmet kitchen and enjoy alfresco around the dining table. Relocate to the casual seating area once dusk falls and share a bottle or two of Californian wine. Pick up your favourite drop in Downtown Palm Springs, just a five-minute car ride away. The area is famous for its cocktail lounges, creative culinary scene and unmissable Aerial Tramway.
