There are some homes that capture the spirit of a design movement, and this home in Palm Springs highlights the best of mid-century modern. Like its desert setting, there’s a natural and simple tone that runs throughout this space, making you feel instantly relaxed. No doubt, you’ll find yourself flowing easily from the light-filled living area and out into the garden. With stunning views across the mountains, you’ll love spending a slow day by the saltwater pool and hot tub. This is a wonderful place for a group of friends or families to come together and celebrate. You’ll love gathering together in the communal spaces, whilst also experiencing the tranquillity of this home. Whether you’re here for a retreat or to explore, this home is in a wonderful location to experience the diversity of the desert. Downtown Palm Springs is only a seven–minute drive away. From shops and galleries to bars and bistros, there’s a beautiful community atmosphere here. Nature lovers will be drawn to the majestic hiking trails through Palm Canyon – a twenty-two minute drive, or Coachella Valley is only a sixteen–minute drive. After a day in the desert, you’ll love the feeling of walking into this beautiful home.... Open the garden doors, pour a glass of wine and get the grill going.
